Hi all, 
Sometimes i get some weird situation: my comp is overloaded by
something, hard disk is working constantly, computer almost is not
responding to anything.
 I run top utility to see what is going
on, i have included piped output of that(part of it)

I remember i got similar overload in the past , showing large
usage of kupdate
process, but now it seems to be sleeping ... if it shows you 95% cpu
idle.... i dont understand
it.. 

p.s. my copmuter got back to normal work now., but sometimes it takes
longer time for it, may be i have some problem with resourse allocation...
i would then appreciate if you directed my somewhere i can learn about
it.

thank you
