Hello,

Running vmstat on a production box, I am seeing run-queue suspiciously high and 
occasionally spiking up to double digit. Say:

Avg = 7.1
Std = 5.33
Min = 4
Max = 31

Top(1) shows 80% idle cpu.

This box runs 6 fix engines, 1 spinning thread each. It’s running 16x2 
hyperthreaded cores, SandyBridge.

I would like to understand where these tasks are coming from and why they can’t 
be processed.  I do not have root access.

I might have a few theories, but the question it’s rather on how I could 
collect evidences.

Many thanks
Ivan
