Hallo Kevin,

This is indeed interesting, the WebUI alone is noticeably slower in
1.2b6 than it was in 1.2b3 (WRAP 1C, Bios 1.03, 266 Mhz, 128 MB RAM).

I can do that too, I also have 4 mBit total bandwidth and CPU is at
about 50% (many firewall rules, some NATting).

CPU is at 50% with 1.2b6, I experience no immediate problems either,
but it's almost double of what 1.2b3 would utilize with exactly the
same functionality. And the WebUI is noticeably slower here on 1.2b6

That's about the scenario I am running here.

This indeed is interesting. There might be differences between your PC
and my WRAP.

So you also experienced an almost double CPU utilization. That was my
point: this almost 100% increase is IMHO alarming.

Kind regards  Frederick
