"Obviously" ??? Upon what do you base that assertion?
What have _you_ done to try to figure out what is going
on with your system? Have you tried running any monitoring
tools such as prstat, iostat, vmstat, intrstat? How about
running scripts from Brendan's DTrace Toolkit?
If you want help, provide data. If you don't want help,
then by all means continue to make unwarranted assumptions.
