Hi,

Well, 3.5.2 isn't exactly latest, there is 3.5.3, 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 also.
But I guess switchd running cpu somewhat hot is normal (40% load in empty switch or so) as it is
polling all the stuff from asic etc. 
I do agree that cpus on many edgecores & dells and similar are somewhat under powered, 
but haven't encountered similar problems with that (yet) myself.
Would be also very interested to hear more specifics.

Henri
