Então eu perguntei anteriormente sobrepor que timidityestava rodando no meu sistema e recebi uma boa explicação relacionada ao systemd.
Agora estou me perguntando por que ele está sobrecarregando um dos meus núcleos (meu processador é um processador AMD Athlon (tm) II X4 640, portanto tem 4 núcleos).
Se eu executar strace no processo, recebo o seguinte (executei por alguns segundos, parece estar repetindo, então parei depois disso):
