This looks very much like you have "set debug loud" or "pfctl -x
loud".  Unless you're actually debugging a condition where having that
level of information available is useful, well, it does generate a lot
of messages.

that's the same as loud

you want "urgent" at most.

*especially* if you have a serial console. I'll go as far as saying,
if you turn it on for debugging, set an at-job to make sure it gets
turned back off.
