This is a little bit of work, but judging from the duplicate tickets this is a problem for a few people, and I haven't been able to trigger this behavior yet. So if somone could try the following:

  1. Install transmission-dbgsym (or transmission-dbg) as Kryzysztof described in comment #18

  2. Install valgrind

  3. Invoke transmission from the command-line this way: "valgrind --tool=cachegrind transmission" and log a session where Transmission reports the abnormally high load. (Note: valgrind generates a *lot* of load on its own, so this step requires a little patience :)

  4. After you exit Transmission, valgrind will genrate a file named cachegrind.out.XXXX. Please attach that file to this ticket *and make sure to say what version of Transmission you used*.

I haven't walked users through this process before, so this is an experiment. Let's see how it goes.
