title: Jenkins High CPU Usage Khugepageds

  <p>So the picture above shows a command <code>khugepageds</code> that is using <code>98</code> to <code>100</code> <code>%</code> of CPU at times.</p>
  
  <p>I tried finding how does <code>jenkins</code> use this command or what to do about it but was not successful. </p>
  
  <p>I did the following </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>pkill</code> jenkins </li>
  <li>service jenkins stop</li>
  <li>service jenkins start</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When i <code>pkill</code> ofcourse the usage goes down but once restart its back up again.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone had this issue before?</p>
