The load average for this router even when it is pretty much idle even during the night is pretty excessive. I grabbed uptime every hour during the night (pasted below). Definitely not normal. Any ideas why load is high? With a cursory look with top on a ssh terminal, I haven't noticed anything big but the router seem to continually loaded.

Hey @ASUS,

I am sure you know, load average of 2 is pretty high especially when nothing is happening at night. On this router w/ its 4 cores, this load average amounts to 50% CPU usage. What on earth is eating up the CPU? This is pretty bad, why is the silence?
