We spun up a few boxes in an attempt to reproduce this, and could. Everything is fine with one user on the system, but as soon as we get 2+ users, byobu-status will start intermittently eating CPU. Here is a screenshot of top if it is of any use (at this time top/byobu was completely unresponsive for 5-10 seconds until byobu-status stopped).
