In the context of Teradata, LIBPM might refer to what is called the Data Connector, the shared library used by utilities such as MultiLoad (via API). I obviously don't know any details about the loads you are referring to but in general there is no big surprise in what you are observing. When INMODs are used, the utilities delegate some work to them. When they are not used, LIBPM has to perform all the tasks, hence, relatively higher CPU usage. Of course, this is just the global view, the real truth might be in the specific details of your implementation.

Thanks Victor!

That explains what I am seeing quite well.
