Subject: qutebrowser-3.3.1p1 high CPU usage

Recently qutebrowser was updated to include QtWebEngine 6, which was
something I was looking forward to as now fewer web sites break compared
with QtWebEngine 5.

However, qutebrowser is now using about 175% CPU continuously on my
system, even with no web pages loaded.  This results in a fast-blowing
laptop fan all the time, which is annoying.

Could there be an OpenBSD-/port-specific reason for this, or should I
report this upstream?

In the many upstream reported issues [1] I found at least one report of
high CPU usage with many tabs open, but none without any web pages
loaded.

I am running current.
