Description

I've noticed that whenever AltServer is running, it continuously runs replayd which then causes a MASSIVE lag spike. I've noticed 500-700+ or more percent of my CPU being used. I don't even know how that's possible...?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with AltServer running and observe replayd's CPU usage. The payload names no files or tests, so trace where AltServer launches or communicates with replayd; done means identifying the cause of the sustained high usage and verifying that normal operation no longer causes the reported lag.
