tf2 cpu usage exceeding 50%

So in the past couple of days my TF2 has started using crazy amounts of my CPU. On task manager, even when i'm just staring at a wall, my CPU usage randomly jumps beyond 50%, and I've been noticing 30+ frame drops randomly in firefights. My CPU isn't exactly good but it still had no problem running at 90+ fps even in 6s firefights before.

Is there a fix or is this just normal and I've never noticed it before?

Turning off the steam overlay seemed to help a bit.

It's likely not the hardware if it is only tf2. Other than that I dunno what to tell you.
