LOAD status RED

My LOAD status is in RED... How can I fix this or what should I have to change. I'm used to have things in "green" and this bothers me a lot..

I use RPi-4 8GB (4 cores) and on which I have Pi-Hole server installation.

What ever I do, my status regarding the LOAD is always in RED:

Run htop on your pi to see which process causes the load.

I already did...
It is SNORT 3.01 but in procentage..this "only" takes about 30% or less..

You have a 4 core system, the 1 minute load is 5 (which is above 4). Find the process that is causing the high load.

The 5 minute and 15 minute loads are low so it may be a transient process.

There's really nothing to "fix", you bought a CPU with 4 cores, not using them is just wasting what you bought.

Thank You for the help and suggestions. :+1:
I managed to fix this problem on ubuntu/linux with IPV6 disable actions.
It looks like that was the main cause in my case. But I'm not entirely sure if the problem is
ubuntu last version (20.10) or (RPi-4...) latest firmware updates. My problems started
after latest updates. Everything worked well on ubuntu 20.04 for last 6 moths..
Anyway, hope this can help to someone facing same problems as me...
