we run a Bitcoin Daemon on a Linode server.
We're seeing huge CPU usage to the point its crashing our server.
We're not mining, simply running a node.
Can you help?

The bitcoin daemon takes around 24 hours on a good server to sync to the network. During this time CPU usage is very high as it is verifying the blockchain from scratch.
Once synced, bitcoind is a far lighter program.
Can you please add details such as client version and whether you are using a bootstrap file or downloading and verifying the blockchain from scratch? Or is the blockchain already up to date? – eMansipater – 2013-04-18T07:36:31.883
