Endian 2.3 High CPU usage

[Guest]

Hi,

I have just installed v 2.3 and on the system dash board it constantly show one of my cpu over 95% and other over 65%. When i check ntop it shows following..

Tasks: 134 total,   1 running, 133 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  7.7%us,  1.2%sy,  0.0%ni, 91.2%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   2064748k total,   255724k used,  1809024k free,    23244k buffers
Swap:   530136k total,        0k used,   530136k free,    94672k cached

I tried rrdfix and it returns the cursor back in 2 seconds. I also tried "echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate" but nothing happened!!
Is there a problem with gui reporting or ntop is showing wrong statics??

SAM,

I have the same problem.
I have 512 MB of RAM, a CPU of 3.2 Ghz and this must to be more than enough!!.
I deactivated all antivirus check, antispam and any content filter.....and off course, no traffic monitoring.

But when i tried to access through VPN (OpenVPN), the CPU usage is around 100% and the are many errors that packet can't be decrypted and so on. All problems derived from the high ratio of CPU usage.

I execute rrdfix.sh but it takes no time to execute (so fast).
Any ideas?

Now i thinking to downgrade to 2.1 version.......
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

use top on console to see what process is eating up your CPU

Yes, it was the first thing i did.

It shows a 0.3% User consume and a 8.3% Sys consume, and the toppest program is openvpn with an average of 16%.
Next, but with an average of 1% is collectd (?).

But, when i display  the system grafics with the gui it shows a cpu charge of 70% and high.
What happend?

I have resolve the cuestion but there is something  strange.

I enabled the VPN Firewall and the CPU usage drop down to 2%.

The strange thing is, before i enabled the VPN Firewall, when there was low usage of users, i could connect to the network (using a high ratio of CPU).......and i think that there should not be possible if i didn't configure the VPN firewall rules, like i did now.

I hope this can help anybody.
