It doesn't run "all the time". It runs at bootup, detects the modules to

How many lines of output do you get from discover? There shouldn't be
all that many. A line telling all the modules to be loaded, and stuff
about actually loading them.

Yes, the output would be useful. Please file a bug report against
discover and let us know. Thank you.
