Filebeat consume high CPU usage (about 25%) when processing logs and scanning files.

Here is my environment:

- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- 4 core

Here is my configuration:

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
  - type: log
    id: log
    enabled: true
    paths:
      - C:/Packages/Test/log/**/*.elklog
    harvester_limit: 1
    close_inactive: 1s
    scan_frequency: 5s

    # close_eof: true
    # close_timeout: 0.5s
    multiline:
      type: pattern
      pattern: ^\[
      negate: true
      match: after

max_procs: 1

// hide other processors and output.elasticsearch
// If need more information, please tell me

```

CPU usage shown as below:

How to control CPU usage below 10%?  
No need to harvest real time. Send slower, CPU lower.

Thanks
