Hmm, your load sounds fairly high to me -- when I'm not doing anything the load sits around 1 - 1.5% system and 0% user, and depending on what I'm doing the user load varies significantly -- anywhere from 1 to 100%. Just an observation, don't have any idea whether it is a meaningful difference or is related at all to your problem. I run Mandrake 8.2 on a 700 MHz Duron with 256 MB Ram. Still at kde 2.2, not running sound or any servers. Randy Kramer > Swap never > occurs on this box as I have 384 megs ram. Ran MemTest for 12 hours and > memory checks fine.
