so am doing my usual stuff on the pc, nothing special, when i suddenly note a huge jump in the cpu usage, use of memory, even swap space, in the monitor graph. my pc actually slows to a crawl.
frantic. is that a slurp from the net connection? i get a console to do tcpdumping, but it shows all's quiet on the western front. could that be some cron task? or what? so i start thinking, how do i know exactly what process or application is doing what, using how much resource, at a particular time? i see the process table, but doesn't really tell me what suddenly happened specifically. any clues, or have i to piece together circumstancial evidence from the process table? and then try to guess the even more difficult question: why? ?
