P6, 512MB RAM, 2.2.5-stable as of Monday.

There's something like 1100 processes (web servers running on this), doing
nothing. (no clients).  maxusers is set to 128, and kern.maxfiles is
set to 16384.

Here's some vmstat output for a few seconds.

If nothing is going on, where is the system CPU time going?

No disk activity, , no paging/swapping, no access, except my
over-the-network xterm and vmstat -s.

top shows nothing.  everthing except top is sitting in select or lockf for
as far down as I looked.  lastpid hasn't changed for the 15 seconds
or so when I checked.

Top shows 6% of my time in interrupt, 3.8% in system.

netstat -i shows nothing except what looks to be the correct amount of
traffic for my xterm output.


Do these numbers look right?  

Looking at a 2.2.2 server doing almost the same thing, things just seem
lower all-the-way around, but of course, w/o identical loads, it doesn't
mean anything.
