I don't know, a good start might be checking your rc-scripts, I mean
which ones are turned on. switching off the non-mandatory ones might be
a start. then, what window-manager are you using? could it, or some
related sft be the reason? you should start from as little 'extra'
(i.e. wm, daemons..) as possible and go to enable things one by one.

Hi all,
I have the weirdest poRblem I've experienced yet:
recently, my cpu monitor and process count monitor started showing all
these spikes, so it looks like a comb! Wondering why, I did some
investigating.
Watching top, perl seems to appear and disappear all the time. I can't
trace it to anything, but it's annoying!
It's only eating up a small (<15%) Chunk of cpu for about 1 second in
every two, so I don't notice it all that much, but still it shouldn't be
there.
I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking for this one - system logs
show nothing of value. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks,
