 run ps lax a few times, and notice which process is fork bombing your
 box by seeing which process has the most changing children...

If found the culprit, and it was not fork bombing. It was vlc 
(multimedia/vlc-devel), that was not supposed to do anything. On the list of 
interrupts I posted originally, observe the 40 to 50 irqs/sec on pcm.

Once I told vlc to exit, the system returned back to normal...

Does not seem right :-(

 Subject: OS suddenly VERY busy
 
 Hello!
 
 After a couple of huge tarball extracts (`make extract' in

 jdk14 and jdk15) I noticed, things are a little slower. 
 During the extracts, the mouse was moving with visible
jerks. 
 Indeed, the system seems VERY busy:
 
 The machine is idle and is not doing anything in
user-space 
 according to both top and vmstat's pigs display.
 
 Yet it is noticably slower. Trying to compile something 
 pushes the load above 2. What is it doing?

 Any ideas? Thanks!
 

Irq 15 is your IDE disk.  The slowest part of a server will
always be the disk, this is your bottleneck. I tried working
with jdk14:

(*and still cannot install it, will you post your install
sequence please?*)

Some of the files where large.  I noticed nothing really
performance wise when working with with some of the 50M plus
tar files.  I do have dual 242's and a 64bit 3Ware card (in
a 64Bit slot) that has harware XOR's in it so my cpu's never
have to do direct disk work per se.  One of the install
processes recommends you have 1.4Gb of free work space.
This may also be an issue. Why no swap partition?  Was this
intentional? Also how much RAM?  I have 1Gb.



What does df -h say? I have mine like this.  Raid 1 Array
with SATA drives.
I'm worried I made /var too small...

well, I'd say 443k syscalls/time interval isn't doing nothing...

[...]

 The machine is idle and is not doing anything in user-space according to both
 top and vmstat's pigs display.

the problem is that your machine is so fast that all of the
processes that are running are exiting before they can be observed
by pigs or top (or even accumulate enough cpu time to be worth
showing)...

 Yet it is noticably slower. Trying to compile something pushes the load above

run ps lax a few times, and notice which process is fork bombing your
box by seeing which process has the most changing children...  (i.e.
the ppid, 3rd column, of the process that isn't in the next run)...
sort -n +1 -2 + diff will help find which ones...

ps lax | sort -n +1 -2  tmpa; sleep 2; ps lax | sort -n +1 -2  tmpb; diff 
tmpa tmpb

look at the ppid (3rd column) of any new or missing processes, and
you probably have your culprit...
