Until we see the source code (or at least a man page) that is an unverified claim and the process should be treated like malware:
while : ; do pkill -9 dasd ; sleep 10 ; done
The tasks it "schedules" must be very low-priority, because nothing breaks when dasd doesn't run.
That's...what background processes do? They're supposed to run occasionally and be resilient to disruption.
But if you wanna be afraid of boring ordinary things, you go right ahead.
