Update on the SuSE SLES 8 performance Issue:
KDE was just turned on to configure the various components(DB2, etc), we
are using runlevel 3. I have since turned KDE off, I have reduced the
Virtual memory on the Linux guest machine to 384MB, and set timer ticks to
0. I shutdown Linux, logged off the guest, and reautologged, and didn't
even start the directory server, or DB2.
TOP shows mostly idle:

but it is still our biggest CPU hog (52%). Of course it's not really that
big of a deal with our system indicate at:
