Hello BIND 10 developers,

Today I compiled and installed bind10-devel-20100917 on my Mac laptop
(OS X 10.6.4). I then started it up, and after a while I noticed that my
laptop fans came on, which usually indicates that there's heavy CPU
usage. The top command confirmed this:

PID    COMMAND      %CPU TIME
2690   top          4.8  00:00.92
32680  Python       43.8 03:18.53
32679  Python       44.4 03:18.62
32678  Python       43.9 03:18.34
32677  Python       45.7 03:16.27
32676  b10-auth     0.0  00:00.01
32675  Python       0.0  00:00.10
32674  Python       0.0  00:00.11
32672  Python       0.0  00:00.13

The 4 python processes at the top of that list, which are using up most
of the CPU, belong to b10-xfrout, b10-xfrin, b10-zonemgr and b10-cmdctl.

I didn't expect them to be so busy. Is this normal, or are they caught
up in some kind of loop?

Regards,

Anand
