<![CDATA[Heating and Excessive CPU usage in VOXL 2 under normal operation]]>Greetings,
I am seeing CPU loads of 50-60 percent while idling in voxl2. I have voxl camera server (which is handling hires (streaming at 480p only to portal)+trecking+ToF sensors), voxl qvio server and mavlink running. Is this kind of cpu usage stat normal? The voxl2 is heating up well over 80C in a room with 24C temp in this situation and a 25mm fan is not helping the situation much.
I wanted to ask if this is something to be worried about?

Your advice regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

 voxl-camera-server    |  Enabled  |   Running   |    71.1%
 voxl-cpu-monitor      |  Enabled  |   Running   |     0.1%
 voxl-dfs-server       | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-feature-tracker  | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-flow-server      | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-imu-server       |  Enabled  |   Running   |     1.5%
 voxl-lepton-server    | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-mavcam-manager   | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-mavlink-server   |  Enabled  |   Running   |     0.2%
 voxl-modem            | Disabled  | Not Running |
 voxl-portal           |  Enabled  |   Running   |    60.1%

This is with HIRES, Tracking, Stereo on SDK 1.0. I also disabled large encoding on the HIRES from the camera server. Just bumping to see if this is expected.

Running camera server with 4 tracking cams and px4 flight stack with mavlink server and reaching over 90 Degree CPU temp.
