Thanks all for the feedback, Perhaps I'll look into making a set of abstractions for such thing, parsing top output in PD (as not to depend on pyx) does not seem all that fun though.
I think I found the problem, and will know in 6 days. I has reinstalled the kernel and forgot to add the noapm acpi=off kernel flags to grub. Without these linux nvidia drivers are not stable. I think that is the culprit as it has caused freezes in the past (and I did notice that it was X that froze, not PD, since I was unable to kill X) FYI I only do installations in -nogui. ;) In case anyone is interested, and was not at pd-conv here is some info on the project: http://b.goto10.org/wp/?p=227 .b.
