Very high CPU usage (OpenWrt 18.06.1 on WNDR4300) about zerotier-openwrt HOT 7 CLOSED

Was OpenWrt 18.6.0 also running zerotier 1.2.8?

I rolled back to 18.06.0, and it looks like it's running 1.2.8-2. I presume opkg installed 1.2.8-2 under 18.06.1 as well.

Looks like with zerotier 1.2.8-2 on openwrt 18.06.0 seems to use a lot of CPU as well, top reports it as using 15-50% continuously even with less than 1 KB/s of traffic through the ZT interface

I did another experiment: I left zerotier running, but left all associated networks. It still sits on top of the top process list, consuming usually around 20%, but periodically dropping to 0 or spiking to 50%. Shouldn't zerotier be mostly idle when not associated with any networks?

Actually, I do not know how much processing time ZT uses. But it is meant for smartphones as least powerful systems. So a Wi-Fi router is somewhat out of the league in terms of processing power.

Hmm, I just tried upgrading to OpenWrt 18.6.1 and installing zerotier again and the usage seems more reasonable. Seems to be idling around 6%, even when connected to one network. And load is around 0.3-0.5. However, I did notice that opening up the default LuCI status page in the browser results in a load of like 4. So maybe last time I had that open in a tab and didn't realize it.

Anyway, good to know. :-)
