Mikrotik AP CPU usage?

Hi all. I have heard that Mikrotik is not the greatest in Wi-Fi, but I didn't need the greatest, I needed something inexpensive to replace my Plume pods. We have 300 Mbps Internet service.

I bought some hAP ax S units, and have been testing one. High Wi-Fi throughout seems to really hammer the CPU. Is this the way on all Mikrotik APs, or just the new AX S?

I'm seeing what I assume are some driver issues as well, where high Wi-Fi throughout causes the Wi-Fi to stop responding. But so far if I'm not running a speed test to my internal server, regular traffic seems to flow okay.
