Usertrack won't have any effect on performance, as it's just a file
that Interchange appends to.  If the file is big then you could
rotate it and, perhaps, delete old rotated files to save disk space.
Appending to the usertrack file will have no noticeable effect on
your CPU usage.

I imagine your problem could be something to do with session expiry.
Are you regularly deleting expired session files?  I suspect that you
are not.  A huge sessions directory will have a direct impact on your
website's performance, so it must be regularly cleaned.  Deleting old
temporary files in your ScratchDir directory (defaults to "tmp") is
also a good idea.
