Shawn, Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry for the delayed response.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no disk activity or CPU activity to speak of. System idle time is typically > 97% as reported by top. Ran both prstat and top and both reported similar statistics....The only processes taking up any CPU are Xorg and Firefox. However, both are typically around 1-2% and jump up to 6-7% occasionally (e.g. firefox jumps to 6% when loading Gmail). Yes, I had seen the discussion you mentioned. However, this is not a gradual deterioration. Right from boot time, it exhibits this behavior. We reproduced this on another R61i as well. I also have a server here (a DL 180 g5) on which I installed b116 and that does not exhibit this behavior. Also, no major difference between b110 and b116 in terms of syscalls (can provide the dtrace output if useful) or interrupts on the R61i. Another thing is that this behavior is not present if I use "Command Line Login" instead of the graphical session... i.e. only present when gnome is in play. Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. Currently at a loss.
