Operating System - All
Severity - Low

Reported Version - Trunk

Details - Supply the following if possible:
 - Device problem occurs on
 - Software versions of LEDE release, packages, etc.
 - Steps to reproduce
 
 When flashing a TP-Link Archer C2600 with a new master image, the device idles with a load of between 0.9 and 1.5. `top` shows a sys% of between 40% and 55%, with a `[kworker/1:1]` taking up most of that at around 38-40%, followed by a `[kworker/0:1]` at around 2-5%. Furthermore, using the device for internet 'feels' sluggish, and via wifi I could not get much more than around 5-8mbit up and down (whereas I should be able to achieve at least 200/30 via wifi).

The device: TP-Link Archer C2600 v1
Software: LEDE master r4807-bd24d53, kernel 4.9.47.
Steps: perform a clean install and observe the problem.

As requested in IRC, `ps` output (also attached):
