I have found something kind of similar in Ubu 10.04 (on a rather low-memory Panasonic (768MB): 1. Start Chromium browser 2. Open 'a few' tabs and surf about a bit 3. Eventually it's as if some threshold is exceeded and the system load average starts ramping up, often to between 5 and 10. I either have to leave the computer alone till it settles down again or kill the main chromium process. 4. Looking with 'top' or 'htop' does not really reveal what's going on.
Are there kernel related processes that do not show up in the ?top lists? Swap-related stuff? Clive, could you be bumping into a memory ceiling? -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
