lshttpd "nobody" process

#1
Hi,

I have been seeing a bunch of lshttpd process from the user "nobody" that is taking up 99.9% CPU usage at various times. From what i have noticed it starts at around 18% CPU, then 30%, then 80%, then 99% before dropping and returning a few minutes later. To the LiteSpeed admins...is this normal? And if so, what is it?

I have posted two quick pics below of separate times.

when the process take up 99% CPU, you can strace it
#strace -p pid-of-the-process
for a while, to know about what it's doing. paste the output here if not long.
