Jetson Nano CPU load average for CSI video recording unusually high

hello juan.tettamanti,

looks like you’re using top commands to gather the usage.
you should also note that, its by default configure as Irix mode, it expressed as a percentage of total CPU time.

please refer to [url]https://linux.die.net/man/1/top[/url], you may switch Irix mode to off (Solaris mode) by hit “I” (shift + i), where a task’s usage will be divided by the total number of CPUs; such average CPU usage should be more reasonable results,
thanks
