To find out wha= t=20 it is, you could take a look at $top -S ... type "otime<return>" to sort by= =20 CPU-time used. Eventhough above top output suggests not, I suppose an=20 interrupt strom thing might be the cause of this. "vmstat -i" might tell yo= u. Also, the symptoms you describe might be in connection with the X config=20 driver? What kind of graphic card are you using in those two boxes? =2D-=20 Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet --Boundary-02=_fjIhAg61oxpSZmc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAhIjfXyyEoT62BG0RAvJVAJ9qhxapsYPVBPNNbkz6/0IsfPAnXgCfXWET gm0kvqEFcrw56Z2SZCtVxeQ= =Rx0c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_fjIhAg61oxpSZmc--
