<![CDATA[2.4.5 high latency and packet loss]]>This sounds just like the issues reported on virtualized installs. I'm on a bare metal server (Supermicro 5018D-FN4T).

I can reproduce this by enabling/disabling pfblockerng-devel. It settles down after a few minutes.

Long boot times compared to 2.4.4-p3 with delayed access (enter username/password hit return wait a few minutes) to the admin interface after the system is up. Latency and packet loss once logged in. It's the same with or without pfblockerng installed. Settles down after a while.

Nothing interesting in the system logs other than the gateway alarms. System activity (top) shows nothing pegged at 100%.

This happens even if I uninstall pfblocker, just to a lessor degree. I would expect that, less rules and no enormous aliases. Still see latency and packet loss when the firewall rules are reloaded.

I did make that code change, btw.
