I'm now watching more carefully in a quieter environment and there is
a definite correlation between entries appearing in the logs (i.e.
users connecting or disconnecting) and CPU spikes. With only 7
connected users, a connection or disconnection causes CPU usage spikes
to more than 100% (dual core..) for a few seconds.
