High cpu usage of setPersistentStoragePath

[MasterJohnson]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    views = []

    for i in range(5):
        time.sleep(1)
        webview = QWebEngineView()
        profile = QWebEngineProfile(f"storage{i}", webview)
        profile.setPersistentStoragePath(f"profiles/storage{i}")
        webpage = QWebEnginePage(profile, webview)
        webview.setPage(webpage)
        webview.load(QUrl("https://www.google.com/"))
        webview.show()
        views.append(webview)

    sys.exit(app.exec())

This is a test code I’ve written. My goal is to save cookies with minimal CPU usage.

The CPU usage is quite high, around 60–70%. Is that normal? Normal browsers use almost no CPU, so I’m wondering if there’s something I can do about it.
