Epic Games Launcher high CPU usage (self.pcmasterrace)

I’m getting high CPU usage when downloading games through EGL. It uses up to 30% which is abysmal for 7800X3D. PC is brand new, with latest Windows 11, drivers and BIOS. Both EGL and Epic Online Services are updated to latest version. This happens only while downloading. Any ideas?

it's well known among linux gamers but I bet windows user will have more fun with it compared to whatever train wreck the official EGS launcher is too
