I use a video VM for MS Teams, Zoom, etc. and dom0 top shows >10% cpu load for pulseaudio and pacat-simple-vchan (associated with that video VM).

Is that normal? It drains my battery (Dell XPS13, kernel 5.4.88-1, Qubes 4.0) really quickly.

Even outside of Qubes-OS I feel video conferencing software is highly
inefficient. When I had a Webex session on my old AMD Phenom 2 Quad
Core, the CPU fan got louder and louder...
