I believe I have a related issue, not exactly the same, but similar... When I run vmstat, I notice that processes are always piling up and waiting for CPU time. This is odd, because my CPU is usually running about 70-80% free most times. IRQs look fine, and I have debugging off in the kernel. This

No, not really, I checked top -S, and systat -vm, neither has interrupts going high, but even if interrupts were going really high, I would suspect that the intr % would increase not the system % Ken On Thu, 17 Oct 2002, Michael Lucas wrote: > On Thu, Oct 17, 2002 at 11:18:25AM -0400, Kenneth Cu

Hi, I was just compiling kde3 on my home pc, and I noticed some interesting behavior. It seems that whenever there's ANY real heavy disk activity, the "system" cpu usage % number (in top and in systat -vm) skyrockets from 0.8% to around 50-70%. I was wondering which of the recent changes co
