RevPi Connect fresh install, 25% of CPU already loaded at idle

[hajks87]

I have just installed a new image (Buster) and noticed that after installing python jupyter, this became unknowingly slow. Startup takes 15s, opening a file costs 5s. This is not the case with Pi's in general, and was not the case with the Jesse version.

Could this be related to these 'irq's that run at idle:

Hello,

Could this be related to these 'irq's that run at idle:

The irq/66-3f980000 and irq/66-dwc2_hso are kernel threads that use drivers to handle tasks. In this case the USB (DWC2) driver.

It is normal for these to have a CPU load of around 25%, as there is a lot of traffic over USB, this cannot be avoided.

Startup takes 15s, opening a file costs 5s. This is not the case with Pi's in general, and was not the case with the Jesse version.

I cannot say what this is caused by.

Have you flashed the latest image?
