Despite those stats, I do not see what is eating up 100% cpu time. I already restarted the computer but it is the same. This problem started some hours ago. The CPU is hot, I can feel it on the air stream pouring out the computer case. There are more people that should work with this computer, but they can't. It is terribly slow. Please help me. The system is FreeBSD 6.1.
