Each and every "cibadmin -Q" (or equivalent) will trigger that,
also for local IPC.

Stop polling the cib several times per seconds.

If you have to, "subscribe" to cib updates, using the API.

And stop pushing that much data into the cib.
Maybe, as a stop gap, compress it yourself,
before you stuff it into the cib.
