After about 5 minutes open, it's process seems to run away (whether or not I am actively using the program). I have built Tuxcards from ports and also tried installing the pkg, but both yield the same result: last pid: 14101; load averages: 0.59, 0.21, 0.15 up 0+00:34:17 20:05:28 36 processes: 4 running, 32 sleeping CPU states: 95.3% user, 0.0% nice, 0.8% system, 3.9% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 85M Active, 91M Inact, 40M Wired, 3048K Cache, 48M Buf, 154M Free Swap: 800M Total, 800M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 14014 epi 49 0 24716K 20680K RUN 0:58 90.19% 90.19% tuxcards 172 epi 28 0 41648K 40152K RUN 0:59 0.05% 0.05% XFree86 186 epi 2 0 41252K 33388K poll 0:17 0.00% 0.00% opera ... I would like to trace the problem, but am unsure where to start. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks! epi
