SG2100 100% CPU usage post upgrade to 24.11

Cross posted on the pfsense reddit.
Upgraded from 24.3 to 24.11 on a SG2100 this morning.
Noted high, like pegged,100% usage post update. Rebooted, same. Let it sit for 5+ hours waiting for it to settle out, same.
Ideas? Logfiles you might need?
Minimal packages, ipsec and pfBlockerNG are the primary and ipsec currently has nothing connected.

@mtarbox Possibly helpful, https://forum.netgate.com/topic/194267/high-cpu-on-2100-after-upgrade-to-rc-from-beta/. Have not upgraded any yet myself.

@SteveITS Kea was enabled from before with no DNS registration/Early DNS registration.
I enabled them, and will sit on it for a bit.
I have a whopping 21 leases.

The tldr is:
There was an issue with dashboard widgets not refreshing at the intended intervals. That's been fixed, but it also means more requests / higher resource usage while the dashboard is opened. This is likely what's happening in your case. You may ignore it (monitor usage over SSH instead) or bump up the widget intervals.
