I installed the Fedora 10 beta on a new machine the last couple days.
Everything seems to be working fine except I keep getting a little
pause, lock, or freeze in the GUI every minute or two. I ran vmstat for
a while and found something like this:
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system--
-----cpu------

I noticed that every time I get a gui lock, the number of system in
(interrupts) jumps from the usual mid-100s to the 2100s.
1) Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
2) Anyone know of a way to find out where extra interrups are being
generated or if an interrupt handler is taking too long?
-Thanks
