Does the knockd service stay on when you're playing?

This question is related to the auto-pause function. When you're playing, you are constantly knocking on the server port, thus triggering the knockd service every time. Is this always happening? Does this not overwhelm the CPU?

Good question. It is always running; however, since Java edition communicates over TCP and the connections are long lived there should be minimal involvement from knockd.

That's only me speculating though...so I'm curious to monitor it and/or let me know if you notice performance impact from it.
