Every hour a new consensus is available to be parsed by your Tor client. Though parsing the data usually takes longer than a few seconds per Tor process. In the absence of further information about your use I would suggest this is the reason for the load you're describing. Sounds normal for a really fast cpu if each Tor process has it's own cpu affinity. -- leeroy -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
