Belgacom’s BBOX2 wastes resources

Belgacom, we have (yet another ) problem with your BBox2 modem.

A background management daemon like TR-98  just cannot be allowed to use 96% CPU all the time, even when doing nothing. Please fix this, or fire your supplier.

Further, I do not use your SIP service, so please give me a way to disable the sipd process. It uses 48% of the available memory.

This is not an efficient use of resources and certainly not “green”.

Update 19 June: After following Ced’s advice below, I killed the sipd, tr69 and tr98 processes and got the following results

As you can see, more memory is freed and the average load has been divided by two.

[Update  17/12/2010] Obviously, if you are using either Belgacom or another provider’s SIP service, do not kill the sipd processes.
