I wonder what the difference is between bash and tcsh that gives rise to
that idea.  Your choice of shell shouldn't affect your CPU usage; and if
there is a bug in bash, I would like more details to help reproduce what

Whoa there - that usually doesn't work.  bash and tcsh have completely
different ideas of syntax, and blindly changing the #! to a different
shell is liable to lead to failure.
