2.1-RC1 (i386) very high CPU usage
-
Not sure whether anyone else has noticed, but there appears to be an abnormally high CPU utilization % since upgrading from 2.1-RC0 to 2.1-RC1. On my Supermicro mini-itx system X7SPA-HF it is pegged around 99-100% whereas it rarely used to exceed 50% during spikes. Is there any way to quickly identify which process is pegging the CPU?

It's not a general issue that we've seen. It would help to know the exact snapshot you're on.
To see the process usage, use top -aSH from the shell, or Diagnostics > System Activity

Thanks Jimp. I'm currently only 2.1-RC1 Built On: Tue Aug 20 13:38:38 EDT 2013.
It appears check_reload_status is biggest CPU hog currently

Check your system logs, something must be generating a bunch of interface down/up events

Thanks Jimp! I went ahead and updated to the latest build and re-installed bandwidthd and it appeared to settle the box down. So far so good!

OK - I spoke too soon. It appears this check_reload_status is back again. It kicked in overnight.

Is there any way to manually remove squid but still preserve the settings for when it's reinstalled? When I uninstlal squid via the packages menu, it still appears as stopped service on the homepage.
