Since the high load is only on processor 0 the high supervisor state was to be expected: must be something CP decided it had to do on processor 0. Since you do have a performance monitor: does/did it show just a correspondingly higher load for CP on processor 0, in which case looking for a user with a high CP load percentage should tell you which guest caused the problem, or was it a case of the 'system' load peaking? Whichever it was: None of the processors were really highly loaded, so I'd expect the user who complained to have very probably been working with the guest causing the problem while the remainder was still ok. (You didn't say whether the whole system slowed down, but if it did then I'd put that down to a CP problem.)

Barton, As you know, we do have a good performance monitor. It is just that, unfortunately for you, it is not the one that you provide. Don't flame me for that one - it was a commercial rather than technical decision and I had no input into that. The fact remains that I can search the performance monitor we do have for information - if I have some clue what I am looking for. The system is peaking high supervisor state activity on processor 0 (we can also see this on the SAD display) for significant periods of time. I have exhausted all the likely causes that I know and I am now looking for new ideas on what to look for.
