LN pegging your CPU as a routing node is a champagne problem(you're apparently making plenty of fees), quickly solved by rate limiting or raising your fees.

but the current specs have no fees on the nodes, only the receiver can have a fee...
so you are basically giving your channels for no fee, you have to compute with your channel partner lots of new contracts/keys and you risk having to go on the main chain if something breaks on a transaction where you are involved in, which means you have to pay normal BTC fees even though you only offer a service for someone else...
edit: it looks like there is actually a fee per (routing)node. but it's mentioned much later in the specs and the place i looked at was/is not up-to-date

a routing node can not take any fee for its service though. and every node is a routing node if there is more than a single channel to the network
