2356242 - CMS.exe Consuming 100% CPU during DST

Symptom

Following the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, the CMS.exe process (or boe_cmsd in Linux / Unix) consumes very high CPU%, up to 100%.
This can lead to generally slow performance throughout the SAP BI environment, e.g. logging in / navigating within the Central Management Console and BI Launchpad
An Adaptive Processing Server containing the Platform Search Service may also be similarly affected
Any workflow involving Platform Search, e.g. searching for content from within the BI Launchpad, is especially slow

With Continuous Crawling selected, this will be evident immediately after DST starts
With Scheduled Crawling selected, this will become evident whenever the first post-DST instance of the Platform Search Scheduling Object starts running
