I encountered a similar situation. Here is a Forum post discussing one resolution:
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=LAPIC
He also points out:
"You can list your clock sources using:
# sysctl kern.eventtimer.choice"
*the PR was not found when I checked today.
