However, while reading some mail via mutt I scrolled to the bottom of the mail item and got several beeps (as I tried to go further). At that point the tty out chars/sec on xperfmon++ jumped to over 210,000 and the interrupts went to over 37,000/sec. At the same time Idle CPU % went to zero. Soon xperfmon++ crashed. Upon restarting xperfmon++ I see that I am still getting over 55,000 tty out chars/sec and over 40,000 interrupts/sec. Letting the system idle for several minutes still has the tty out char/sec in the 20,000/sec range and the interrupt/sec at about 17,000. Something does seem really strange.
