Yes, I know we've been here before, but I am stupid and the problem has again happened.

I have a RPI:

```auto

```

I have NR installed/running on it.

It would cycle from 36% CPU load to 100% about every 20 seconds. When it did a burst of pings.

That was a pre1.x version of NR.

I updated to 1.0.3 and updated `npm` as per the recent advisory.

Now the RPI runs at 100% load all the time.

Dashboard 2.19.2  
Most/all nodes are up to date.
