I have a powerouter 732 that is for the most part pegged at 100% cpu load. I was wondering if that would cause really high latency throughout my network. The 732 is handling queues, web caching, and dude. Thanks for any input. I have added a shot of the resources.

pr732 isn't MT official product... but you try to upgrade to newer version.

regards

It is currently running v3.24. And I beleive that if it is running MT RourerOS then it is a mikrotik product.

Two things, The 732 is a Made for Mikrotik Product by Link Technologies, Inc. 1. You have multi-core disabled for one, second, the image you sent shown only 6% load. I would typically not put Dude on a production router, I would put it on another box, like a 433AH with MicroSD card etc.

I thought the 732 was dual core, I wonder why only one core is working. I was told that I could run queues, web caching and dude etc. because this device was so powerful. I took another screenshot down below at 100% cpu load. Have I been steered in the wrong direction and do I need to move dude to a 433AH?

You don't have the second core enabled. You need to set multi-cpu=yes in routeros to enable SMP Support

Do you think that the people we purchased it from should take care of that. I don't know how or why I should.

Nope, that is 100% software configuration in RouterOS.

What if I paid them to configure the 732? Shouldn't it have been done?

That depends on many things. YOu can argue that, but it also may have been that there was not a need to enable it. Maybe they did'ent know to enable it. lol You can contact whoever that was.

Or maybe they figured with all the SMP issues RouterOS has experienced, it was safer on a production box to leave multi-cpu disabled.

I think it is one of these things, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
