It's hard for me to tell since I've been measuring cpu use by running top inside that terminal, which necessarily seems to use a lot of the CPU just to draw the screen. If it's the terminal at fault, it would continue after you shutdown the git-annex daemon, since that doesn't close the terminal. """]]
