If you have that many files in the monitored directory tree, it's expected.

If you have the ports tree installed you can try updating libinotify
- change 20170711 to 20180201 in /usr/ports/devel/libinotify, "make
makesum" and "make update", there are some changes in this that should
reduce memory use and I think maybe also reduce cpu load. If there are
problems or it doesn't help then revert to the version in packages
("pkg_add -r -D downgrade libinotify").
