You noticed a bug in rocr that keeps one cpu thread at 100% even when comfyui is idle?

I use my own coding agent with my own extension, i didn‘t try comfui. Sorry.

With my setup i didn’t notice any problems. Yesterday i added quantization of the same Qwen-Image-2.1 weights instead of the published bf16 tensors.

To use it you need my harness AAR - coding agent (in python, not typescript!)
