Default Why does XoloX connect to itself?

Sometimes XoloX decides to connect to itself.
It sends a lot of data to itself and consumes a lot of CPU power.
(I have only seen this beaviour at startup)

Example:

Active Connections

Proto Local Address ----- Foreign Address --- State
TCP my.ip.address:1903 my.ip.address:6346 ESTABLISHED
TCP my.ip.address:6346 141.154.228.96:2105 ESTABLISHED
TCP my.ip.address:6346 212.171.204.43:1027 ESTABLISHED
TCP my.ip.address:6346 my.ip.address:1903 ESTABLISHED

Is there any meaningful purpose with the connections to itself?
I have now blocked outgoing connection attempts from xolox to my own ip address in the firewall software to see if that makes things better.
