        What version of pfSense?

        How many IPsec tunnels?

        What encryption settings are you using?

        Does the hardware have any crypto accelerator capabilities?

          That means you have tunable net.inet.ipsec.debug set to something other than 0. In addition to the log spam, that has a significant amount of performance overhead, so I'd recommend setting that back to 0.
