is regularly restarting the IDE because the CPU usage runs wild for no discernible reason part of your lives too?

IDEA 2020.1 EAP?

no, 2019.3.3. it happened in the EAP as well but I had to abandon for other reasons

Can you please report an issue at http://kotl.in/issue with a CPU snapshot: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems

@Alexey Belkov [JB] I will do that. I’m traveling this week so it may not be until next week when I’m back into normal development.
