Autodesk Identity Manager consuming too much CPU

[jrychter]

So, is there a reason why Autodesk Identity Manager has to constantly consume 2.5-4% of CPU (and a pretty powerful CPU at that)? Usually it sits around 2.6%, but sometimes peaks to 18% like in the screenshot. I took the screenshot after about 10 minutes and you can see it already consumed 40s of CPU time.

 

What is it actually *doing* with all those CPU cycles? Mining bitcoin? Establishing my identity by processing the camera feed?

Additionally, this is an Intel binary, which makes things even worse on every mac sold during the last 2 years or so.

I'd say this qualifies as a bug and needs fixing.

Dang mine was idling at .4% then shot up to 15.3% when I took this screenshot:

Hopefully it will stop relying on Rosetta and Fusion will one day truly be a native apple silicon app.

It does consume a lot of CPU over time, and I would like to know why. What is it doing that requires so much CPU? 

I took a sample using Activity Monitor, and at a first glance "AutoQuiter::AutoQuiterWorker()" (sic!) seems to be looping and checking files.

Could someone from Autodesk please take a look at this problem?
