&lt;h1&gt;Symptoms&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Appian 17.4+, there performance degradation caused by high CPU utilization from the personalization/group engine. The number of &amp;quot;getUser&amp;quot; calls have increased significantly and can be measured from the engine_call_details.csv log.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Cause&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was caused by a bug within Appian Parallel Evaluation which caused additional calls to the engine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Action&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apply the latest Appian Hotfix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
