Strange and slow internet traffic

SalishSwede

Hi,
I'm getting very slow and strange (low quality) internet traffic and I'm wondering why.

One thought is I "upgraded" my mini computer running the UTM to one with an Intel Core i7-7500U Processor (Kaby Lake, Dual Core, 4M Cache, 2.70GHz, up to 3.50GHz).

Is this adequate if I have most everything turned on?

    If you turn off Web Protection, does it speed up?

    I won't turn off web protection.  That's the principle use-case of having the UTM.

    Well, yes I am aware.  I'm talking about troubleshooting here, not keeping it off. 

    There is a reason for this step.Expressionless

    Edit:  Just noticed your CPU.  Therein lies your issue.  It's a mobile platform CPU that won't keep up with your Web/IPS filtering very well.  It does the job, but you won't see the speed you want.
