A point to ponder:
The apparent culprit, ld-linux.so, is a "helper" process...it runs whenever
you run a program that uses shared libraries (which these days is just about
everything), and it's responsible for linking up the program code with its
shared libraries at runtime.
Under normal circumstances, there's absolutely no reason for ld-linux.so to
spike your CPU usage like that. So I suspect this is probably a symptom
of some other problem, rather than the source of the problems.
Indeed, the fact that you can see it at all on the "top" list is probably
an indication of problems...I've *never* seen ld-linux.so on the process
list on *any* Linux system (on my system, it's not even an executable).
