lucid eating up all CPU

My Fonera 2.0n encounters too high CPU load by multiple lua lucid processes. See top:

Does this problem occur always, or only in specific circumstances (downloading torrents, changing settings, etc.).

Are there any specific configuration changes you have made? Could you perhaps check if the problem also occurs with the factory settings (don't forget to backup your settings!)?

Is this with 2.3.6.0?

Configuration was standard, only with developer FW (at this time without transmission, or any third party compiled sw like Midnight Commander). I disabled my Firefox plugin on one of my PC's and it seems to by better now. As I understand, lucid are web interface processes, aren't? Anyway I tried to reduce web interface calls to minimum, disabled plugin and now I can use transmission too. All this without annoying dropouts on smb protocol.

So it seems likely that the Firefox plugin was causing the load? Could you try enabling the Firefox plugin again to see if the problem comes back?

As part of the upcoming 2.3.7.0 firmware release, we're reviewing old open tickets to see if they are still relevant, which is why you get this response now.

If this issue still occurs with the  2.3.7.0 rc2 firmware, feel free to leave a comment here so we can further investigate.
