Traefik Traefik v2

I am trying traefik in a service that have high traffic load and when i'm testing in benchmarks (WRK) i see traefik using a lot of CPU. Sometimes it uses 50%+ (2cpu)

Without traefik, benchmarking direct to IP i got 800 req/s
With traefik, benchmarking to https domain i got 500 req/s

any tip?

This was asked recently and a lot of overhead was created by writing debug and access log.
