When a daemon crashes or partitions away the remaining daemons will go through a period of increased activity as they first try to ensure that he is really gone and then trying to reestablish a new membership.  Once the new membership is established, then the daemons should go back to normal operational levels.  This process should normally take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds depending on your configuration.

If you are saying that the daemons remain at elevated computational levels permanently, I do not know what could be causing that effect.
