2.4 CPU usage unusually high
«

Sunday 30 May 2010, 07:17:56 am »
Just installed 2.4 on a brand new Foxconn Atom board with 1 gig of RAM. With no services turned on except for DHCP the CPU usage on both processors is sitting at 97%, RAM usage is 9%. Anyone else having this problem? Not sure why the CPU would be so high.

Followed the directions here
http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1341.msg3230#msg3230
and that seems to have solved it. Currently i'm using 15% of one cpu and 9% of the other.

that should do it, I didn't notice a difference until I rebooted the firewall.
Good luck

what is "wa" which is most of time on +90%?
CPU is still on 100% most of the time.
IPS switched off
InternZone FW traffic Green to Green 60 MB
IPS switched on
InternZone FW traffic Green to Green
3.95 MB
InterZone traffice options "allow", "allow with IPS" -> does not change the result.
ONLY switching IPS off...

1. us -> User CPU time: The time the CPU has spent running users’ processes that are not niced.
2. sy -> System CPU time: The time the CPU has spent running the kernel and its processes.
3. ni -> Nice CPU time: The time the CPU has spent running users’ proccess that have been niced.
4. wa -> iowait: Amount of time the CPU has been waiting for I/O to complete.
5. hi -> Hardware IRQ: The amount of time the CPU has been servicing hardware interrupts.
6. si -> Software Interrupts.: The amount of time the CPU has been servicing software interrupts.
can i somewhere check which I/os are waiting?
Some say its a disk issue..

What sort of disk are you using? Some kind of solid state, or compact flash?

Hi WJStone
its a cf card 133 DMA speed.
was not a problem with 2.3
But i am thinking to put a SSD in if this is the case.
Its mostly the %wa state. Funny is as soon as i start copying from green to green wa% goes down.
thanks!

As soon the box is rebooted and got "nothing to do" WA state goes high.
When i start copy, streaming, downloading the state goes down. as soon as i finished it raises up again

ok
EMI = endian management interface (webserver GUI) ??
collectd
http://bugs.endian.com/view.php?id=2585
collectd is a lighweight, modular daemon that collects system performance data
Dashboard?
so better close the admin gui to safe resources ?!? :-S
collectd is running most of time (schedule for perfomance checking?) together with monit

High Percentage in %id CPU State
Programs which make use of CPU Idle Time mean that they run at a low priority so as not to impact programs that run at normal priority. Many programs that use CPU idle time cause the CPU to always be 100% utilized, so that the time spent where the CPU would have been idle is instead spent performing useful computations.
This generally causes the CPU to consume more power as most modern CPUs can enter power-save modes when they are idle
.
Not good for an ATOM CPU....
