I'm using PocketMac 3 with my PB and I've noticed there's a daemon in the background called DCCMDaemon. Even with PocketMac app closed, it's still there (I guess that why it's a daemon!) and it's consuming 99% on average of system cpu time (when nothing else is happening - check with iostat). What is worst is that it actually causes my fan to start spinning up louder. Once I kill the daemon, CPU drops to 99% idle and the fan stops!

Does anyone else notice this or does anyone know what the DCCMDaemon is for?

It happens occasionally. Kill it. Then restart PocketMac and all will be fine.
