Title:
  Apport can peg CPU for minutes while processing crash report

Status in Apport:
  Triaged
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  apport 2.5.2-0ubuntu4, Ubuntu Q

  1. Feed a large crash report to Apport, e.g. by putting the attached
  15 MB file into /var/crash/.

  What happens: Apport pegs the CPU for several minutes, regardless of
  what else you're doing.

  What should happen, perhaps: There's a limit to how much CPU Apport
  can use.

  This bug report might be Invalid if it is straying into scheduler
  territory.
