Since 3.04, LFD has started sleeping and its CPU utilization is so great that it caused the server load to hike at extreme levels. Does anyone know why?

Is there any fix to this?

lfd should not have that many sleeping processes (there should only be 1). I would suggest killing them all off and then restart lfd and watch the log file for errors.
