      Hi,
      If I leave my Netgate 2100/pfSense running for a few hours/days, most things takes a long time (several seconds), even for simple changes. It may be a configuration thing, but haven't fiddled with anything except vlans/DNS/DHCP yet so curious if it should be snappy, or is it expected to be as is, a bit slow but steady? Strange thing is that sometimes it responds really quick..?

      Thanks

        It really depends what change you're making. Some things might seem simple but actually trigger a number of other processes.

          Fair enough, that is true. One example I find peculiar is just changing the descriptive text of a firewall rule. This is sometimes quick, and at times can take up to 5s to save.

          I have noticed it is producing really much logs for blocked stuff, in particular for IPv6 which I don't use, perhaps that is what uses the CPU the times I find it a bit slow?
