Most don't. Might be worthwhile to add (pull requests welcome).

It took you 5 instances of the dashboard to reach 70% CPU, how many
duplicate dashboards do you want to run? :) Running one or two
instances of the dashboard on your system won't have any noticeable
impact unless you're already running way too close to the top end
capacity of the hardware.

Many more things dynamically update than before, and do so more often.
Opening up 5 dashboard instances basically turns the box into a
relatively busy web server, doing probably a few dozen requests per
second depending on which all widgets are enabled. Yes that will chew
some CPU on an old Atom.

Re: [pfSense] cpu temp in 2.1.3 on soekris 6501

 Hi all,
 
 I installed 2.1.3 on my soekris 6501 as per
 https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Soekris_6501_USB_Flash_installation.
 
 I do not have great success with the core temp kernel module on
 http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.3/i386/coretemp.ko installed on
 2.1.3 (i386) runing on a soekris 6501. I installed it
 in /boot/modules, then loaded the module (kldload core temp). After
 that the temperatures in sysctl show -1 ! like:
 
 sysctl -a | grep temperature
 dev.cpu.0.temperature: -1
 dev.cpu.1.temperature: -1
 
 Any similar experiences with 2.1.3 on 6501 ? or better: a fix ?
 
 Thanks !
 
 Rudi

Hm, I did not need to download coretemp.ko. I simply used the
2.1.3 shipped module with my net6501-70. It is working great. I just
manually patched /usr/local/www/includes/functions.inc.php because of
the wrong tjmax.

Regards,
Peter

Re: [pfSense] CPU

Another update. The problem lies with Chrome. When running Chrome under 
Windows 7 the CPU is stuck at updating in 10 seconds it never changes. 
Running Firefox on the same PC at the same time I show the CPU does 
indeed update but never on Chrome. There is something different between 
these browsers that is preventing the update.

There was a fix between 2.1 and 2.1.1 for something similar. IIRC it was
an old widget that was disabled/removed but still in the config causing
a JavaScript error. Try it with 2.1.1

Re: [pfSense] CPU frequency no longer displayed

 Any idea why?

The frequency is only displayed if it differs from the max possible
frequency. In this case it's running at 3.07GHz.

If it goes lower, it will be displayed.
