Must have been a screen refresh issue. Here is another sample from TOP. Does anyone know what the commands Jeff spoke about would be in Linux. Thanks

I have JFFNMS running on on an aging dual cpu Ultra2 which consistantly has a load of about 6.0, 3.0, 3.0 but averages 65% idle. The machine is a little sluggish when the poller is running due to system paging but other than that , still fairly responsive for a 10 y/o machine running as my desktop. You may want to check some other system utilities to see if you have paging issues, disk i/o problems, blocked i/o, network issues, etc. I'm not sure what the equivelant commands are on linux but in Solaris they would be vmstat, mpstat, iostat, netstat for example.
