You have been subscribed to a public bug: Not too long ago the provided kernel for Xenial was updated from 4.13 to 4.15. I use KSM a fair bit and it has worked nicely. ksmd would peak at around 1% CPU, which is fine. However, now that I have moved up to 4.15 ksmd averages 15% CPU, which is not fine.
There are a lot of commits between these two versions. Will do the usual testing and update asap.
