I encountered a similar situation. Here is a Forum post discussing one resol=
ution:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/high-load-average-with-idle-state.38757/

And here is a snippet:

I suspect you've encountered an issue that WAS* reported as: kern/173541.
[See the 'Problem Reports' database.]

Skipping to the useful stuff:

Like Johan Broman, I was able to work around the problem using the following=


# sysctl -w kern.eventtimer.timer=3DLAPIC

He also points out:

"You can list your clock sources using:
# sysctl kern.eventtimer.choice"


*the PR was not found when I checked today.=
