That's kinda strange. I have been using 3.0-current and XFree86 3.2 for quite some time. I haven't experienced this problem. I'm using AcceleratedX as my X server. Even running Netscape doesn't cause a load greater than 0.60. I just CVSUP'd and did make world + recompiled my kernel on Friday night. My system is a ASUS P55-T2P4 P5-133 w/ 64MB EDO (non-parity), 2 EIDE HD's, ATAPI 8X CDROM and a Matrox Mystique w/ 4MB. BTW, what's the difference between each of the three load averages and what's the diff between SIZE & RES (you'll notice that Xaccel reports a RES =~ 3xSIZE)? Here's output from top: last pid: 3967; load averages: 0.50, 0.23, 0.09 19:01:08 35 processes: 1 running, 34 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 1.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 98.8% idle Mem: 28M Active, 6676K Inact, 15M Wired, 5240K Cache, 7643K Buf, 7688K Free Swap: 64M Total, 5632K Used, 59M Free, 9% Inuse PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 186 burton 2 0 5056K 16848K select 7:46 1.79% 1.79% Xaccel 3966 burton 2 0 2616K 3592K select 0:00 1.21% 0.95% emacs 3937 burton 2 0 11620K 6972K select 0:05 0.76% 0.76% netscape.bin 197 burton 18 0 656K 1572K pause 8:46 0.00% 0.00% xearth 1451 mailhost 18 0 288K 508K pause 0:01 0.00% 0.00% fetchmail 111 root 18 0 332K 404K pause 0:01 0.00% 0.00% cron 23 root 18 0 204K 0K pause 0:00 0.00% 0.00% adjkerntz 185 burton 10 0 172K 608K wait 0:00 0.00% 0.00% xinit 161 burton 10 0 880K 480K wait 0:00 0.00% 0.00% bash 206 burton 10 0 488K 92K wait 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sh 210 burton 10 0 488K 92K wait 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sh [sniped] On Sun, 13 Apr 1997, Brian Tao wrote: > On Fri, 11 Apr 1997, Chris A.
