Tramp used a non-zero timeout in the past. This was removed some years ago, I don't remember the reason. I've added (sit-for 0.005) in the loop calling tramp-accept-process-output. It decreases the CPU load from 100% to something between 45..50%, when waiting for a response from remote. Pushed to master, and thanks for the explanation! Best regards, Michael.
