Check the memory usage of the kmail process while it is consuming lots of CPU. It could be something else. What is the CPU state of the process? It could be iowait i.e. waiting for pages etc. Also check the memory status. Does the harddisk start thrashing when kmail is slow. Are you running low on swap as well? -- Shridhar -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in for mailing instructions.
