Thank you for taking the time to do this analysis. While I agreed his bug report was exceptionnaly vague, I was also saddened by the kind of answer he got from the list.

One could check if Ubuntu Studio has updated the Nvidia driver recently. The UbuntuStudio repositories seems to be down right now so I can't check. If that is the source of the problem, another update could have solved it already. > 2) A vulnerability was exploited on his system and someone is using it > for spamming or other network attacks that consume large amounts of > CPU, slowing things down. (Not too likely, I'd think, but not > impossible.) Ubuntu has no service enabled by default so this is very unlikely. A newbie could still have installed a mail server as a dependency of something else though. I don't know about services enabled on Ubuntu Studio, but the scope of the distribution makes me think it's unlikely they have any service enabled. > So hopefully he'll write back (to the list!) with more info so that > someone can help, but give him at least one chance. (After that, oil > up the trebuchet and lob his flaming request back at full speed!) I somehow doubt he'll write back. His problem might even be fixed right now.
