sometimes my SLED machine gets very sluggish, and I have to wait a while to do anything (especially if I am in evolution -- often the rest of the system is slow but ok, while the EVO window gets grey and is un-responsive. At any rate, just now this happened ... and when I looked in system monitor, there was no process that used CPU % more than 1 or 2 % However, in CPU resources, the first CPU (this is a dual core laptop) was pegged at 100% and the 2nd processor was bouncing from 10-45% umm ... so obviously there must have been SOME OTHER process, not showing in "processes" that was hogging the resource? How might I identify what it was? Peter -- "Do not be idolatrous or bound to any doctrine, theory or ideology, even Buddhist ones. All systems of thought are guiding means, not absolute truth."
