Subject: OT : kernel using 75% of CPUHi there,I have a Sun e4500, running Solaris 2.7 and Oracle 8.1.7.1.0. Everything looks normal from a database perspective, but when I run "top" it show the kernel being very hog-like:load averages: 14.38, 15.18, 15.18 07:16:21
126 processes: 118 sleeping, 4 running, 4 on cpu
CPU states: 0.6% idle, 26.6% user, 72.8% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 4096M real, 63M free, 216M swap in use, 5310M swap freePID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
