Yossi, The META region is usually heavily used and it's worst when you use the web UI. Just for the lolz, go on the Master's page (the main page) and hit "refresh" a couple of times; you should see that number go high up.
And on how to avoid it, well the only way to split that load would be to have the META region do a split but it will require a lot of data hence a lot of user regions which I doubt you have on 2 machines.
