Actually I've come across an unusual cause of high CPU load (although I
doubt this would be the cause on many other setups).
>From time to time (due to, I believe, dodgy firmware on my 802.11 units) my
wireless connection drops out.  This even includes booting from cold -
sometimes my wireless lan will be inaccessible at boot time - and (due to, I
believe, dodgy drivers) the lan interface (USB) doesn't get reset so I'm
effectively left with no ethernet.
ipconfig shows that the card is assigned IP address 0.0.0.0, netmask
0.0.0.0.  Obviously the ether interface is unusable at this point (a quick
start/stop of one of the support applications that came with the USB device
is enough to get it going again).

BUT - until I do this, java is using practically 100% cpu.

As soon as I've reset the USB interface, CPU usage drops to normal for the
java process.

Any ideas?  Any chance anyone else would be likely to be able to reproduce
this?!
