Great load average...

Hi again!

For for 10th day now my mail server has a great!!! load average!!! I've checked the logs

but i can't find any signs of any kind of attack...except some some tries on my port 80

also i have a proccess named compress running..and i don't know what it is? ( :\ almost new to linux )

My server has 50 users.

The server works normally i think has no delays..

If i reboot the system load average seems ok all about 0.1 or 0.2 and after a few hours is growing....

from the top command i'm getting the following:

11:00am up 3 days, 22:44, 3 users, load average: 112.84, 112.88, 113.28
