I recently trashed the GNUstep system startup script and did a very
quick re-write. Apparently I forgot to add '-p' for not probing as
option. Adding it and re-running the script 'fixed' the problem. That
is, gdomap is now down to 0%
My bad...

Then again, why IS it using 95% when -p is specified?

No, of course my box does have loopback specified. I meant that
loopback isn't specified for gdomap:

[...]
  PREFIX=/usr/local
  IFFILE=${PREFIX}/etc/gdomap_if
  PIDFILE="/var/run/gdomap.pid"

  case "$1" in
  start)
    [...]
    /Tools/gdomap -a ${IFFILE} -I ${PIDFILE} -p
[...]

The file /usr/local/etc/gdomap_if  contains just one line with my IP
and BC, but not 127.0.0.1.
