I'm also getting really high CPU usage. I'm running a system with 12 cores now and only 5 cameras. I can see how the OS could be utilizing free ram and i'm just looking at my usage on my VM dashboard and was getting alarmed. Not noticing performance issues. But surely the system shouldn't be maxing ...

It appears

/usr/bin/zma -m 1
/usr/bin/zma -m 2
/usr/bin/zma -m 2

are using most resources.

Machine:
VM - 8-CPU, 16gig Ram, 600g hdd. 3 cameras.

I noticed my ram usage is around 90%. But once I deleted all video events, ram usage went back down to 35% and slowly increases as ZM saves video files. Is something being saved in the ram by mistake? Where would I look?

Thanks for any help
