Usually not. I notice it when I try to move my mouse pointer. > This is most odd, wish I could come up with some kind of explanation for you. > > On the subject of load, what load average is the machine in when this > occurs? It just happened twice (not a lock up, just temporary hang where mouse would be trapped in a window). I am building qt3. The load was 2.86 and then 3.22. In this case, my mouse pointer froze completely for about five seconds, then I could move it, and then for about a second or two it was trapped in a window. (Again I can tell, because it will move good, but will be limited to the outline of the window's frame.) Everything is working fine now. Load is 1.57. (Of course, load averages don't mean much since they very from machine to machine and OS to OS; and different apps behave just fine under a lot higher loads.) > Perhaps purposefully grinding a machine could help reproduce this?
