Hi Andreas,

If you are worried about CPU consumption you can use several tools to track the 
problem down and file a useful bug report:

1) you can use strace to see if there are syscalls being done:
   eg: $ sysprof -tt -p <pid-of-program> &> program.log

   then you can grep the hell out of it trying to figure out what is
   going on.  For instance if the program is stating lots of files that
   doesn't exists.

2) you can install sysprof http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/
   and profile your whole system looking for the worst offenders.

Maybe someone with much more experience can share some useful tricks.

Cheers,

-William
