What is LINQPad doing after being idle?

I went out to lunch today while some tests I was running (not in LINQPad) was allowed to complete. I have LINQPad open but nothing actively running.

When I came back, the process completed as expected, but LINQPad is taking up a lot of CPU. Again, I don't have anything running, but this is alarming to see.

My work laptop does have a lot of aggressive antivirus and scanners installed so I would have expected those to be doing things, but not LINQPad.

What is happening here?

It appears to be the "main" LINQPad process.

  • I've added profiling for this condition in 9.8.9. If this occurs again, go to Tools | Start Internal Profiling, let it run for a few seconds, and then go to Tools | Stop Internal Profiling and send me the file it produces.
