I tried your suggestion (ssh remotely on the idle tablet). Tried to follow CPU usage for a while, then stopped and retried... The 'metalayer-crawler' is, apparently, idle (bad, I'd like a simple solution). :-( The only two processes that are using CPU (both at every check of top) are: 'cx3110x' and 'OMAP McSPI/0' I don't really know what those processes do, nor if they are related to the SSH connection. But they're using CPU... A look at /proc/PID/status says 'SleepAVG' 91% ijust in case this is useful... Again, any hint to further proceeding is appreciated.
