I'm seeing something similar; for me it seems to be related to swapping=20 processes back in. If _some_ processes get swapped out, it takes a long ti= me=20 for them to wake up and swap back in. The main culprits so far are bash an= d=20 moused. I'm going to have some time to play around with it this weekend,=20 finally. I've been experiencing this for almost a month, and I haven't had= =20 time to do anything about it. :) =2D-=20 Marc Ramirez Blue Circle Software Corporation 513-688-1070 (main) 513-382-1270 (direct) http://www.bluecirclesoft.com http://www.mrami.com (personal) --nextPart2719729.hYtWVZMcmn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBePZRg1EgpGw750IRAv52AKCuC/qAJjpNrOIkeVYagZpWsm6b6QCfSjEI 0wJrtgC3joxb8+W9p0Azl+o= =vNIm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2719729.hYtWVZMcmn--
