what say the logfile ?
Once the consensus diffs are processed the load drops to normal.
After some time without anything noticeable for me in the debug logs the CPU suddenly jumps to 100% again and stays there till another consensus diffs are arriving.
Its not as worse as it was the first two days where i had 100% CPU load half of the time but i still have this about 10-15 times a day for a few seconds or minutes each.
For the next few minutes after the CPU dropped to normal the throughput is close to zero so this cant be good for clients.
It would be nice to have a fix in 0.4.4 stable or earlier so that i can decide if i want to buy a Windows license key or rather shut it down.
