Hi,
I migrated to an APU2 (https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm) as residential router, from my previous WRT1200AC (marvell armada 385).
I was running OpenWrt 18.06 on that one, now I am running latest 19.07.3 on the APU2.
Before I had 500/100 and I had to use FQ_CODEL because CAKE took too much CPU to be able to do 500/100 on the WRT1200AC. Now I upgraded to 1000/1000 and tried it again, and even the APU2 can only do CAKE up to ~300 megabit/s. With FQ_CODEL I get full speed (configure 900/900 in SQM in OpenWrt).
Looking in top, I see sirq% sitting at 50% pegged. This is typical what I see when CPU based forwarding is maxed out. From my recollection of running CAKE on earlier versions of openwrt (17.x) I don't remember CAKE using more CPU than FQ_CODEL.
Anyone know what's up? I'm fine running FQ_CODEL, it solves any bufferbloat but... I thought CAKE supposedly should use less CPU, not more?
