Description
CryFS is a program to encrypt a folder of files and view them in a FUSE mounted directory.
After lf even glances at a CryFS directory, it will start using about 14.5% cpu on my 8 thread machine, sometimes dropping down to ~3% usage for a while before going back up. Obviously CryFS has to use some cpu to create the file tree, but this is finished quite early on as shown by the cryfs process, and the problem persists even when navigating far away from the cryfs dir.
btop
also shows the process's thread count going up over time. One day i woke up to find it using over 1000 threads, which actually seemed to lag my system.
Pressing F1 to open help in the pager temporarily halts all cpu usage, and goes back up on quit. Any ideas?
