I never did this before, but maybe you need to take a look on -serial 
option. Maybe you can use it to redirect the serial output onto FIFO and 
then read the other end point of this FIFO into a file

About the high load, I guess that happens when login prompt appears. It 
keeps polling for input but never get it and feeding /dev/null just made 
it "eating" endless null.

I hope this hint is useful.
