That doesn't sound right. Blocking I/O shouldn't consume any more CPU
than non-blocking. If the worker thread is blocked waiting for data to
arrive (or be sent), it should be inside a system call, probably
read(), consuming no CPU.

You could post a sample of your process while it's in this state. Are
you sure it's not some other thread doing a spin-loop waiting for the
SFTP thread to do something?
