I rebuilt my userland, even when /etc/ppp/options is set to
connection speed of 9600, pppd is taking huge amounts of CPU:

PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU CPU COMMAND
754 root     227   0  2316K  1348K RUN      4:09 99.02% 99.02% pppd

But there are no signs of sio overflows happening. 

What is it that is causing these problems?
