I'm running couchdb-0.9.0 on a 64bit Ubuntu 8.10 server, and after a few hours the couch beam.smp process starts consuming 25-40% CPU even when idle. The CPU usage remains at this level until I restart couchdb, at which point CPU usage drops back to <2% before slowly climbing back to the 25-40% range. I don't see any active couchjs processes in top when idle, so I don't think it is view/indexing related.
I don't see this on my dev machine (OS X) where couchdb-0.9.0 never consumes more than 2% CPU at idle. Has anybody seen this behavior before? Any tips on figuring out what's going on? Cheers, Andy Kappen
