I experienced some weirdness when I installed the Phoebe3 beta a while ago. There was a runaway process that pegged CPU usage near 100%. It finally died after a few days but until it did, the whole system was dog slow as could be expected. This is all a long-winded way to say that the best way to try to track it down is to run top and look for a hog. Sounds to me like xscreensaver - or some other app interacting with xscreensaver - is pegging things for a bit after resuming. -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
