Similar situation here -- the thread priority is low, and it only
consumes 50% of one core so no responsiveness impact.
But it does mean that ProcessController is always showing some CPU
load, which makes me think something has gone awry (e.g., im_kit
locking up). It also increases power consumption by ~10 watts.

Have you tried killing the thread to see if anything breaks?
It might be related to live queries going dead, but that could be
another bug entirely. Without knowing what that thread is actually
doing, it could be difficult to track down.

Also, have you ever seen it go above ~50%? On both of my machines,
it's almost exactly 50%, even although the CPU speed differs vastly.
