Uh you had the right idea but forgot to paste the relevant bits ;-)
top *is* the tool for working out what processes are using your CPU.
Although your high load average suggests that your system is just
heavily loaded and it is expected that it will be using 100% CPU.

Dear Kris,
Thanks for your e-mail.
The odd thing is that I just switched from an old 4.12 box with dual
xeon (only 2 processors) with 4 gb of ram to the 6.2 with the extra
ram and dual core dual zeons (technically twice the cpus:) and 4* the ram....
This one is dying and the other older "so called slower" system works
much better with as close to the same configuration as I can make it.
I have to assume something is wrong here but I will keep digging as
this is not even workable.
The system cpu is still high if I get rid of the memory drive and
have it save on the disks. It takes a lifetime to build a kernel now...
Any way I can view what is made up of the 50-70% system cpu to be
able to pinpoint the bottleneck?
I have tried to trim down the ipfw rules to see if this was the
culprit but this does not seem to be making a difference so far.
Thanks
Paul
