You can do this from htop by pressing s. Also, please check if the

Handy!
The accumulated time is also very large - roughly ten times that of the
X server and about thirty times that of my window manager.
Here's a short excerpt of the strace:
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1235122444
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1235122444
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
time(NULL) = 1235122444
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1235122444
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1235122444
stat64(/etc/localtime, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open(/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
The same calls are repeated over and over so that should be enough to
nail it.
I'll look for doc re: the formhist file in the morning and why I need
one (mismatch between my elinks.conf file and my environment?)
Thanks,
CJ

Also, you can check that you don't have a timer enabled (User Interface - Timer options - Enable), but it shouldn't be unless you explicitly configured it to be. Had disabled not long ago. Must have enabled stuff didn't need when first configuring ELinks just to take a look at what it did.

I haven't been able to guess at why this might be happening. Only thing that I noticed is that if I bounce ELinks and reopen the same tabs it will behave for a few hours and then go back to using CPU cycles for no apparent reason. Can't say I've lost sleep over this, just curious. Any suggestion as to how I could figure out what ELinks is actually doing?
