On the subject of system load I think of one more thing to check: what
do the load average stats look like? If load average increases beyond
the number of available cpu threads you will have freeze-ups. Just today
I was working with a system I had running at 75% cpu load, then I
noticed load average climbing out of control, so I quickly adjusted the
load before it's to late...
nwe@desk:~$ top
top - 20:36:43 up 1:43, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.14, 0.22
My 1 minute load average here is at 0.11 which means my 8 thread cpu is
just idling. If it were to increase near or beyond 8.00 I would say my
cpu is overloaded even if it is not at 100% load.
