Anyone else noticing thier mark 5 running slow after being up for an extended (a few hours) time. Htop is showing /bin/sh /sbin/hotplug-call clock pulling 95% cpu time. Checked the openwrt site and there is a bug tracker on this issue but the research for a fix died out 17 months ago with no real fix found. https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/12765 It appears this problem was not present on a preveious firmware release. Per what I was able to find there is some kind of issue within the busybox toolset. We may want to look in to testing firmware base with a different trunk to kill this high utilization bug because it is making this thing crawl. I think I saw a section on compiling my own firmware may try my hand at that if any one would like to work on this with me please let me know. Feel free to move this post if I put it in the wrong place.

Ok I have had mine mark 5 for less than three days and I am seeing this same issue though it appears to be erroring because the red light goes solid along with a solid green(power) light and a sporadic flashing amber. then amber and red stops and the blue light starts flashing like it is booting back up. I am cabled in through the the ethernet and have the wifi connecting to a g style network I have saved to it for the moment. I did go ahead and install all the infussion this last firmware reset which mind you is the third time I have flashed the firmware for doing the same thing. Not all times have I hade the infussions loaded. I am using both puttytray and mozilla to access both interfaces trying to monitor top and now htop that I got loaded on it before it died. I have tried rebooting through the gui which did seem to resolve some lag issues I had previously wile using the browser interface. Prior to finding that link for restart I was using halt to stop the device. I am willing to try and work out this bug but I am a bit disappointed in having the device for 2 days and it is rebooting almost every 60 seconds. I am a bit new to openwrt. What info would you like logs reflash and monitor take it apart and check for overheating since the resources in the monitors and looks green accept mem holding at something around 63%. CPu usage is real low in top and htop. Box feels a little warm to the touch. Anybody know if I take it appart if I will void it. I got some decent thermal paste on hand and some old pac parts maybe I can diy a heatsink incase that is the issue. Any suggestions or requests?
