my system has just jumped in to sustained high load, and i don't know why.
this is a build of -current i think within the past week. would this be a
bug in the system somewhere, or some naturally weird phenomenon? (i don't
know whether to send-pr or email hackers, but the traffic's been a bit light
so ...)
