Having read the other replies I would question Activity Monitor. AM is
an application built on top of the real data recording and it
wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Apple filter out any sort of
activity they think you shouldn’t be concerned with. Try using
‘top’ in a terminal window. Unless Apple have doctored a long
standing utility that will tell you what is really going on. Running
‘top’ without arguments, the header gives you:
Load Average (which is the number of processes waiting for the CPU
averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes - an indication of overall load,
more useful for servers,
CPU usage (and idle %age),
Memory usage,
Swap,
Network traffic, and
Disk I/O
It updates every second (by default). The report below the header is
at a per-process level. It’s surprising how busy the system really
is.
Hitting the ‘q’ key stops it. ’man top’ will tell you how to
control the rest of the o/p.
I know how to use 'top'.
I'll try that next time I get one of the stalls, but the real question
for this list is why I'm getting these stalls.
