Hmm, could it be that You have not enough swap space? It should be at
least two times the amount of ram. 30-50 percent kapm idle is perfectly
normal. What do You mean by Your computer freezes and top is running ?
Is it probably just X that freezes? Are there any apm options activated
in X? Otherwise if ram and swap is ok and You do have enough ram for the
system at all then this seams to be an issue for the kernel people.
