SCP, CP RSYNC From one machine to Proxmox 2.2 Host results in high CPU

Hi,

I currently have a super micro system that I am using to test Proxmox 2.2. It really seems to be a fantastic system, but I have noticed real high CPU when copying a file from a NFS host to this new Proxmox 2.2 system or SCP/RSYNC from another machine to this new host.

Prior to the installation of Proxmox 2.2, this system was used in production with Proxmox 1.9 and never had any problems.

The very odd thing is I can backup hosts from this troubled machine to the same NFS server that I can't copy from without the high CPU usage.
The system is a dual quad core 2.5 Intel Xeon (SuperMicro) with a 1 TB SATA drive & 8 gigs of ram. At present, we only have 2 openvz systems that we are testing on this system and they work GREAT. When the host system is receiving a file from a remote server via rsync, the cpu goes from 98% idle to 0% idle in about 2 minutes. I am going to go to the datacenter Monday to reload the machine back to Proxmox 1.9 to validate, but I thought that I would post this should anyone else have experienced this.

Thanks again for the wonderful product and the community support.
 
scp use encrytion, and that is CPU intensive. So a CPU usage of 100% is quite normal with scp.
