Hi - I am running an OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 system on an x64 system with a
dual core processor. While using it I am experiencing periods of up to several minutes where I can hear the processor's cooling fan speed up and the system's responsiveness slows way down to where it is unusable.
During these episodes I have had KSysguard running and top executing in
a shell to see if I can figure out what is causing these episodes. The KSysguard graphical display will show that both processors are running at or near 100% yet the process table and top both show that the running processes are taking only a few percent (typically less than 4 or 5% for the worst process) and the total percentage of CPU time being used for all processes is nowhere near the 100% shown by the cpu usage graph.
So how do I track down what application, process, or system service is chewing up my processors. I am experiencing these slowdowns approx 5 to
10 times per hour which is quite frustrating. I kinda suspect it is Firefox but I cannot say that definitively.. Suggestions?
Marc.. Was Ksystemguard set to show ALL processes. Or just your processes? Sorry, ALL processes... Marc...
