We had a good 15 minute period of unproductivity at work when avahi-daemon pegged a CPU core and our gigE ethernet connections (70MB/s sustained). We use distcc across all of our developer workstations running Ubuntu 10.10, but it generally works flawlessly. No strace, but I did see that my instance of VBoxHeadless was pegging another core for the duration avahi did so. People without VirtualBox experienced the problem, though.
