Hi,
I saw a little bit about this back in 8/31/12
(http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2012-August/035381.html), but it was never
resolved? Has anyone else seen xymond_channel consuming so much CPU time?
I can't imagine this being normal.

xymond_channel
Hi David,
That much CPU time definitely isn't normal... Were you able to get an
strace or see anything in the logs from around when that was happening.
The only thing that immediately comes to mind might be some sort of
semaphore/IPC issue causing it to spin on incoming channel messages from
xymond.
