High cpu load is normal for a busy pen instance. How many clients
are connected? What is the overall throughput?

A few options to check out in the man page:

-C port
         Specifies a control port where the load balancer
         listens for commands.

-d
         Debugging (repeat -d for more). The output goes to
         stderr if we
         are running in the foreground (see -f) and to
         syslog (facility
         user, priority debug) otherwise.

-f
         Stay in foreground.

-w file
         File for status reports in HTML format.

(Can you believe I did "apt-get install pen" to get the manpage
although I have the source right here. I'm too lazy.)
