Hi all,
My cpu usage has been high enough to significantly impact simulations and other work on the computer. This is on several computers in our organization, it could be due to a security software issue. Basically the cpu usage remains high as if programs are being intercepted or audited. No single program uses significantly more than 1-2%, a large number of (normally idle) apps are doing this, total CPU use is high. The computer slows to a crawl and simultions take more than 5x normal speed, if they run at all. Standard apps usage becomes difficult.
It's been > 4 months, but the issue remains unresolved and not fully understood by our internal IT groups or security groups. The theory is that it is due to a mcaffee auditing process, although the right combination of settings, if this is the case, has not been found.
It does not appear immediately on-boot, but after several hours or days of use, (eerily similar to a memory leak). Memory use is reasonable.
First goal is to understand what could be causing this, one example shot is below,
