Happy New Year,

lsb_release -a shows I am running:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release:	20.04
Codename:	focal

The software is up to date.

Recently, I changed my cable modem and the router associated with my 
network. The provider for my internet connection tested the connection 
with the results showing 477Mbps down and 23Mbps up.

The new router is a Netgear RAX10 AX1800.

Since then my main system has become has become very lethargic (taking a 
very long time for everything) top shows that MOST of the time the user 
(us in the top display)is exceeding 50%, even on an idle system. I also 
noted that there are several instances of a task named Isolate+ that hog 
the cpu. What is that task's purpose?

I tried a man page and found nothing that indicates it should be running 
at all. I am not running any untested s/w (that I know of).

Did a clamav scan and found nothing wrong.

What is going on?

Let me know if I need to look elsewhere or provide additional information.

Thanks,
Jay
