What is the output of suricata --build-info ?

If you have perf tools installed have a look at what in Suricata uses the most CPU - 
perf top -p pidofsuri

Is there an easy way to get Suricata to tell me what it's doing that would cause this? It occurs on real interfaces with low traffic, loopback, as well as bonds where there's no trafic.
