CPU use when Hazel is Stopped or even Quit

I wonder why Hazel is consuming a lot of CPU when Stopped and rules are paused. Why hazelworker continues (and what it does?). Even I quit Hazel app, hazelworker continues processing.

ver. 6.0.3

Note that the Hazel app has nothing to do with running stuff in the background. It's just a UI to configure your rules. Quitting the app will not affect processing of rules.

Try the following:

- Launch Activity Monitor. Find the process in question. Note its PID.
- Do "Sample Process" and send me the output.
- In Hazel's "Info" section, click on "View Log"
- In the search field, enter "[XXXX]" where XXXX is the PID noted earlier. Send me that output.
