    Description

      Issue described in https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-discuss/msg04975.html as follows
      "
      On a 4-core (4 physical, 8 logical cores), 3.5 Ghz box, MariaDB 10.3.4
      consumes typically 35-40% of available CPU even when completely idle
      according to Task Manager. Please see image.

      I cannot tell if previous 10.3 versions also did, as I don't have 10.3
      running constantly in the backgorund. I just observed this now. This does
      not happen with MariaDB 10.1, MariaDB 10.2, MySQL 5.6, MySQL 5.7 and MySQL
      8.0 (all those I have starting with Windows on this box), where the
      CPU-load is neglible unless the server is "doing real work". As a result, the CPU clock frequency is always highest possible 3.5 Ghz
      (this CPU model is a 4th generation Intel with the option to scale down CPU
      frequency to around 40-50% of max. when there is no need for more) when
      MariaDB 10.3.4 is running.

      "

      Examination of the attached stacktraces taken from the process when it in this "idle" state, shows 3 CPUs being occupied by something, that for most time seems to be some busy-look acquiring innodb mutex
      .
      my.ini uses all defaults, with the exception of
      innodb_buffer_pool_size=4091M

      Setting innodb_page_cleaners = 1, according to reporter, fixed the issue.
