As well as data documents, blueapi produces events when the status objects monitored by the run engine are updated. These events are useful for creating progress bars and similar updates. Unfortunately it seems very easy to unintentionally make plans/devices produce a very large number of these updates. The handling of all of these results in log spam and high CPU usage.
We're seeing this now on I22 and have seen similar problems before (see #111). I think the easy way to make debugging easier is to make the status update handling optional and easy to turn off via config. To that end...
