[BRLTTY] BRLTTY Gobbling up CPU

For some reason the load on my CPU was extremely heavy:
02:40:46 up 55 days, 16:34, 10 users,  load average: 1.05, 1.08, 1.07
Shouldn't be that high. The culprit appears to be BRLTTY:
ps -Ao pid,comm,rss,pcpu --sort pcpu
21097 kworker/1:0-wg-     0  0.1
 3370 transmission-da 40144  0.4
 9850 brltty           2516 34.1
What is making it so heavy there? Any way to find out?
Brltty 5.6, Debian 10, #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u2 (2019-11-11)
