I'm trying to compile editors/openoffice-2.0-devel (after successfully getting java/jdk15 running on amd64), and my load shot way up just as I started the compile. top didn't show me much, so I attributed it to the disk I/O that was going on, and didn't think much of it. Until the build failed. Now top /still/ isn't showing me much. systat -vm is showing me at just under 100% User, with little to no disk activity. I'm a little fuzzy as to /how/ load is calculated, but why would my system think that it's doing all kinds of work when ps, top, and systat can't really tell me /what/ it's doing? The system is AMD64 running 5.4-STABLE (compiled two nights ago, I believe). More information available on request...
