[Sparxy]

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I plug in a single DisplayLink screen, the DisplayLinkManager CPU usage goes through the roof.

The CPU usage stays this high (around 80-100% of one logical core) as long as I keep using the screen(s).
See screenshot.

Ubuntu 16.04
kernel: 4.4.0-24-generic
DisplayLink 1.1.62
