Version: 3.7-3
Severity: important
Fixed: 3.7.2-1

The current stable contains a version, which is, quote

And indeed all metrics went sky-high after update:

-   dispatcher business from 0.21% to 80%
-   wallTime from 35 ms to 13600 ms
-   wallTime per dispatcher from 2.9 ms to 813 ms
-   cpu usage from 6% to 93%

I strongly suggest to update stable somehow, since this makes the package 
pretty dangerous:
it may kill a perfectly close-to-idle system by pushing it to 100% CPU on 
multiple threads
after a simple upgrade.
