Pump runs all the time in daemon mode -- this is normal. The CPU usage
is a bug of some sort. Check bugzilla, there are several reports of
this.
The only time I personally have had a similar problem is when my
providers network went down, and my lease expired during the outage.
This was a problem with my provider, but pump went nuts and started
consuming a lot of CPU cycles and would not/could not renew the lease
even after the network was back up. Restarting pump solved this. I
suppose it was trying to reach the network that was not there and went
into an infinite loop, but I don't know for sure.
