I have been running KDE 2.0 on my Mandrake 7.1 system since yesterday
evening (I run my system 24/7).  Last night when I went to bed, all was well.
When I woke up this morning to check on the status of a gimp compile I
started just before bed, I found that it has finished just fine but that the
system was real slow to respond, there was lots of swapping activity going
on, and that it appeared to be tied to ksysguard.  

Mouse movement was jerky, response was slow. I started kpm to check out
the situation and saw that there was still plenty of swap space, plenty of 
ram, and that the CPU was not taxed, yet the swapping was enough to affect
everything.  

I killed artsd, which is part of ksysguard.  Immediately upon killing it, the 
swapping stopped, the system became its same old responsive and fast
self (I have an Athlon 700 with LOTS of ram).

Has anyone else come across this situation?  Is there a problem with
ksysguard or artsd I may be interested in?  It is not worth it to have any
of that running if it is going to so severly slow down my system.
