      Hi All
      I'm running pfsense 2.0 RC3. The snapshop that was built on July 4 I'm noticing that the CPU usage has been stuck at 100% now for the past few days.
      Memory usage is at or around 34% most of the time. It's still quite responsive though. I don't think I noticed it at first so I'm not sure if it was like that when I first did the install. Please let me know if you need any more information.

          I had my CPU running much higher than normal a couple of times with  two different nightly releases of 2.0 and it turned out to be the Avahi package.  I uninstalled then reinstalled Avahi and the problem went away.  This was the same issue both times that my CPU activity spiked up. FWIW I also tried rebooting to no avail, it took uninstalling then reinstalling Avahi to fix my issue.

          Good Luck…
