[LAU] JACKD regularly grabbing a lot of CPU (90%+)

No.

I haven't watched it constantly, but it appears to spontaneously jump or rise quickly. I'll keep a closer eye though.

My system is running 24/7, mostly handling a bit of mail, some audio playing (mpv) and other menial tasks. CPU scheduling policy is set to constant at either 800MHz single core - for most of the time - and 3GHz, quadcore, when recording.

Hm, it's a first thought. We'll see.
Thank you for the quick response!
