How do i find out the state of CPU? Swap memory is not getting utilized much, nor is the memory usage by kmail. CPU is getting hogged to near 100% by kmail which looks like a trouble sign for me. > Also check the memory status. Does the harddisk start thrashing when kmail is > slow. Are you running low on swap as well? No harddisk thrashing... whatsoever... -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [email protected] for mailing instructions.
