We have a small hotfix out today which begins to address the issue with spinning trees. Although this doesn't entirely fix the issue, it should be a lot better. A more permanent fix is being worked on. We have also addressed a crash issue related to newer Intel processors. Patch notes - Fixed a crash issue related to newer Intel processors - Partial fix to spinning trees. Trees may still spin, but should happen much less often. A more permanent fix is still being worked on.
