You will have to tell some more details about your FW! What computer you are using for FW? How many computers you have behind your FW? When does this happen?
I had similar problem with low range HW and it happened that my system load was going to 100% at midnight when logs were generated. So to say big logs generated high system load and big logs were couse of much broadcast on inner side of network!
What you are experiencing is the effects of the log files being processed. It is normal for you to have a higher usage during this time. What you might want to do is take a look at your logging options for the proxies and other areas and if you do not need full logs for security / billing reasons then you can try decreasing the log levels to lessen the load on your firewall. Also, when was the last time you rebooted?

How do you change the levels of logging? I am having to reboot my firewall every 12 hours and would like modify the log levels to prevent this from happening
I am running asl 4.0 and have smtp proxy with anti-spam turned on
I went through the manual and the only place I could find that you can change the logging parameters is for the http proxy. If you can change if for the SMTP please let me know. My server load is at 100 all the time. If I stop the SMTP filter than start it again the load drops. Please advise.
