Do you have a TRNG in the first place? Is it getting supposedly random data, and throwing it out because it is not random, ad infinitum? It is not supposed to do that, it should detect it is only getting bogus data after a few blocks that fails the randomness tests, and exit... that would account for some waste of CPU resources when you try to start it up, before it decides it is getting too many failures, though. I will need a _lot_ more data about this bug to help. For starters, what platform are you using, what TRNG does it have, the rngd configuration, and any output it generates in syslog. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
