I see that "horsepower" is certainly not an issue. You also state that this is a "new" problem on your system.
What to do??? Maybe retreating to gnome-terminal-2.11.3 might shed some light on the source of the problem. If "we" are lucky enough to have the problem "go away", that would give the gnome-terminal folks a good place to start. I did a quick goggle-search and found that excessive CPU usage by gnome-terminal is a recurring problem. -Joseph ========================================================================== On Mon, 2005-09-19 at 11:38 -0400, John Affleck wrote: > On Mon, Sep 19, 2005 at 10:10:21AM -0400, Joseph E.
