Ah. Good old Soekris.
I had a quick look through the source of netdata. The only part of netdata that
makes use of the SSE instruction set is their implementation of the stats.d.
Now, I didn't test this but you could try disabling just this part of the
application. It shouldn't affect the charts.
/etc/netdata/netdata.conf:
[statsd]
enabled = no
I don't know if the compiler automatically used the SSE2 instruction set
elsewhere, but it's worth a try.
