In journald.conf I changed #SystemMaxUse= to SystemMaxUse=800M and restarted systemd-journald, after which were retained only those below

That's 1,679,360K in 17 files.
which left 746,586K in 8 files.
That 48M last one contains >113k lines.
'# journalctl | grep "systemd\[" | wc -l' produced 1,508,572.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/mbdjrnl.txt 116k, 1210 lines is the output from journalctl | grep mbd | grep -v <########> that took about 4 minutes of 100% CPU to generate. Surely those mbd lines can't be normal, though I see they stopped several weeks ago, likely the time of last reboot, which followed fresh updates.
A subsequent 'journalctl | grep "systemd\[" | wc -l' took 95 seconds to complete, but still had CPU pegged the whole time. # hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 11702 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5854.68 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 504 MB in 3.01 seconds = 167.59 MB/sec
How much of this is normal or expected? Is this journal access lack of performance normal or expected??? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
