> top -qbSs 1 -d max > /var/tmp/somefile Thank you, that helped. Although top did not tell me which process was guilty directly, it allowed me to track it down. For the record: The process hogging the entire CPU was Xorg, which in turn was being pushed by the KDE World Clock. At my screen resolution, the clock redraws itself every 45 minutes. Apparently, it does this in a very inefficient way, using a lot of CPU and making heavy use of the disk drive. I have filed a bug report on this with KDE: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97565 Thanks Gavin and Kris for your input, - Bartosz
