Well, I can reproduce it locally just by asking for the manuals with flood: jerenkrantz@walla% uptime 8:05PM up 11:51, 3 users, load averages: 22.64, 9.35, 3.76 Looking further into it now. Of interest in the top output is that a lot of process are "Mutex" wait. I need to double check nothing is using NFS first though. All of the time is sys time calls. Looks like this is what daedalus is seeing... -- justin
