I would try to disable textensions one by one and see if any of them is suspicous

i have the same issue, i always just end the shared web process after zen started up and the cpu usage goes down. no idea what that thing even does because nothing breaks and it doesn't start up again on its own. though for me it doesn't use much ram, but it uses 60% of zen's cpu

#

try profiling the process and see what uses calls on it. i just found out that my issue was caused by the 2fas two factor authentication extension
