It occurs to me that these values are in the audible range for human hearing. How cool would it be to have something like "stats -a" generate an audible version of system stats?! > usb mouse constantly. the load average is still 0, and the > interrupt time is <= 3% My load is also close to zero, when just moving the mouse. If, for example, I do a "du -a" in an Acme "win" window, the mouse disappears and/or becomes unusuably slow until Acme finishes. Acme also hangs for me while retrieving files and directory listings on /n/sources. Although the mouse remains responsive during that time, Acme becomes unresponsive... not even selecting text with the button1 works. > the mouse, the i would think that the fact that your machine > is doing 8259-style interrupts has something to do with it.
