For your dual core machine (TOSHIBA Laptop - Intel Core2Duo/4GB/23GB) 44% cpu cycles for one process seems to indicate that the process is almost using all available cpu cycles of one cpu core. CPU usage of gnome-system-monitor seems to increase when lots of processes are started. When you run ... true & sleep 5; true & .... from a gnome terminal window and look at the process ids reported by bash for the two "true" processes started in the background, is there a big difference in pid values? (The expected increase in pid value on an idle system is 2) Is it possible that looping desktop-print-management-applet is not yet fixed in b124? http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=112925&tstart=0 http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-discuss/2009-September/050070.html -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
