So is it the "auth" process or "auth worker" process? What if you add:

does that move the CPU usage from "auth" to "auth worker" process? Is it using
/etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files? Are they large? Do you have enabled other
weird stuff in /etc/nsswitch.conf (and were there some other files related to
them as well?)
