About 6 minutes after booting (on three occasions, but I
don't guarantee this doesn't vary), a process (well, a

about 3/4 of the machine's CPU.

I recall seeing similar behavior on a Sun V20z, running 5.x at the time.
I have definitely seen a lot of interrupts and CPU usage on the sio interrupt
corresponding to serial console. Needless to say there was no activity
on the console itself.
I think turning off serial console solved that for me.
