      After the upgrade to PfSense 2.2, pfctl seems to have a habit of consuming 70%+ CPU in bursts. Usually, it grinds the CPU for a few minutes, stops, and starts grinding the CPU again.

      What should I look at first to debug this?

      The PfSense installation is on a KVM server with 2G ram and 2x E3 processor
