System util 50% CPU non stop

elementalwindx

How can I tell what is causing the router CPU to stay at 50% non stop all the time?

When I run top -aSH I get these results:

last pid: 50746;  load averages:  1.09,  1.05,  1.01  up 20+06:21:25    16:35:10
126 processes: 4 running, 96 sleeping, 26 waiting

Mem: 9392K Active, 99M Inact, 200M Wired, 34M Buf, 3592M Free
Swap: 8192M Total, 8192M Free

However the dashboard shows CPU at 50% all the time and status monitoring shows it as well.

I have 3 packages installed, autoconfigbackup, aws-wizard, and ipsec-profile-wizard

Looks like you enabled polling. Instead of an event based system that reacts when new packets come in, it spins at 100% CPU checking to see if any new packets came in.

You rock :) Thanks.
