Just wanted to chime in that I have been experiencing the same issue as wel=
l,

I tried applying the workaround as suggested in this bug report by blacklis=
ting
virtio_random in rc.conf and it appears to be working, random_harvestq is no
longer eating up 1 of my VM cores.

However, I'm not sure what the impact is for blacklisting virtio_random...
