I'm running 10.10.1 after upgrading from 9.something and it doing the same thing. The OpenJDK process spikes at the same time as the Windows DNS service.
Code: Select all

Create and run a .reg file with this content:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"EnableMediaRouter"=dword:00000000
If you want to disable it in Chrome use/include:
Code: Select all
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"EnableMediaRouter"=dword:00000000
Basically the browsers do a network discovery scan for cast devices every X seconds and it causes a spike. Do note that this key disables casting from the browser. If you want to continue to cast from your browser I suggest only disabling it for one browser and using the other to cast from. In Chrome make sure "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" is off too in case it matters for the media routing.
