Let's start with the basics. Under System->Diagnostics->Activity what is the top CPU consumption processes? Under normal circumstances this should be unbound with maybe 2% and l want to say php-cgi with another 1-3%.

From the looks of it, there's some sort of problem with Zenarmor. Have you tried turning it off?

Reporting: Settings - reset RRD and Netflow data.

If you're on a low powered system such as an APU, want to use Zenarmor and don't use RRD/Netflow that much if at all -- consider turning it off.

Check out the HW subforum for some more information, there's been quite a few threads there recently.

Minimum starting point would be a N5105. If buying from AliExpress I'd recommend the barebones options, get your RAM and SSD from Amazon
