You can get lease info with 'pump -s'. The only time I've seen this
CPU behavior, was when the ISPs connection dropped or the connection
was up, but the DHCP server was not responding. This drives pump crazy
after a while. At least in earlier versions. May be other causes too,
but this is one I observed on more than one occasion.
I've used it for a year or so with DSL connection BTW, and very few
problems.
I always had luck with 'killall pump ; pump' to restart quickly.

Try a more recent version. I've had zero problems with the 6.2
version.
