It is due to the scanning. Obviously the usage drops back down after a while, but how long a 'while' is depends on the power of each server and what else it is doing. I run a pretty much out-of-the-box configuration for RKH, and our monitoring system will show the servers CPU usage going up and down regularly. In that respect I have gotten used to it, and the users don't seem to notice it. Obviously if the usage stays high (or low!), then it is investigated.
