TOP shows high load while IDLE

[pecigonzalo]

As the message says, with this firmware on TOP shows a really high load while the device is IDLE.

Same here, flashed the 2017-08-09 release and notice a 50% cpu load when idle. Using the stock LEDE firmware i have 0-5% CPU load when idle. I did a sysupgrade from the latest stock LEDE.

It is a little bit better if I sysupgrade from LEDE

Could you try today's release please and also make sure you reboot and wait 5-10mins after it's up and running?

PS. I just upgraded to today's build and even with all preinstalled service active and without a reboot after the upgrade it utilizes just between 2 and 3% CPU when idle. If you're getting different results, please try upgrading without preserving your settings (just download a backup before you upgrade) and see if that resolves the issue.

I did a sysupgrade with the latest build yesterday but noticed the same 50%+ CPU load even after 10 minutes. I will try a clean flash at a later time to see if it fixes the load.

CPU Load still high. Im getting constant 0.4 to 0.8 with almost no traffic.

This is my C7 v2 running the latest release. Please to a clean sysupgrade (don't preserve settings) if you experience issues. This amount of load definitely isn't default behaviour of this firmware.

I never do sysupgrade, I dont even backup and restore, so that is not the problem. Lets see if @digglor can confirm this issue or not.

This was related to a certain package that has been removed in the latest release. Please try 2017-11-06.
