systemd is consuming a LOT

Indeed.
There seems to be a bug in that this also happens if coredumps are actually disabled via ulimit (as they are by default).
And systemd-coredump doesn’t even seem to respect the settings in /etc/systemd/ to limit/disable itself, in Leap at least…
(this annoyed me a lot myself already)

I found out how to disable systemd-coredump completely two days ago though, if somebody is interested:
sudo ln -s /dev/null /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
Of course, in the end it’s not systemd-coredump’s fault if applications are crashing though…
It’s just a symptom, not the real problem.

In fact, there are more bugs because the systemd-coredump returned. I don’t know exactly why. I don’t know if disable it is the best choice, but if I can’t solve I will do it, because is consuming almost 100% of my CPU.
