I've seen a big CPU load with pyzor, but not with razor or DCC (using dccifd). I'd say disable these checks one at a time to see which one is causing the highest loads on your machine, and if your machine can't quite handle the current load, disable the ones with the highest loads, at least temporarily, until you are back to a level your system can handle.
Then you can try to figure out if the results without the checks you disabled are good enough, or if it's worth your time to try and hunt down the issue. (One thing to check for regarding any of the network checks is to be certain your firewall's permitting the traffic; I could easily see a network check failing ungracefully in such a case.) -- John C.
