high MP CPU load due to appweb3 process

L3 Networker

PA-5020, sitting on 8.0.4.

From time to time MP load increases rapadily due to appweb3 process going above 300%. Looking like this:

There is no direct correlation found between the spikes and actions taken within the GUI. Spike may go on for a while - 20 minutes, 2 hours, 5 hours, etc. During that time GUI is still usable and everything is operating without noticable delay (same goes for data plane, no impact there). But this is still bothering, as there's no clue what is causing the load and if that could have bigger impact for the box in the future.  

Spikes can be seen clearly when monitoring CPU load - it show values below 20% and then sudden spike ~90% further, while it drops after a while.

 

Has anyone seen such a behavior or are there any suggestion where to look further?
