So over the years I've been testing the latest builds to see if it's worth switching over.
I like the new features, but the CPU utilization tax on v7.2.x is astronomical compared to version 6.1.x.

Windows Host
v7.2.x - 79% CPU | Unusable
v6.1.x - 18% CPU | 100% usable

Looks like this needs an explicit investigation - we don't have this behavior on our radar.
