Hi all,
when downloading big files from internet the firewall's CPU goes to 90 - 100% on APU2C4 (with Intel network cards).
SYSTEM: DIAGNOSTICS: ACTIVITY
root 93 0 43M 28M CPU2 2 795:57 76.86% /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/netflow/flowd_aggregate.py (python3.9)
I've read many topic (eg. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=31999.0), tried to clear logs and disable Netflow but no luck.
Any ideas?
"when downloading big files from internet"
Whats your throughput?
APU uses really very very very old SOC (I have one APU at home) and I can tell you such behaviors are kinda now normal on that SOC and more prominent the more throughput + features configured you have.
APU performs OK with OPNsense at 200Mbit/s with around 6VLANs + Shaper + basic rules. Anything above that and you will see performance degradation.

If you're not experience any performance issues, I'd just leave it alone. If this isn't the norm for you and something has changed, we'll need more data to help diagnose.It happens mostly with torrents, I'm trying to download 4 Linux Mint and the CPU usage is at 100%
