I'm just doing a backup on my laptop, and I've noticed the following stuff from top: last pid: 6742; load averages: 0.88, 0.99, 0.93 16:41:59 48 processes: 2 running, 46 sleeping CPU states: 0.8% user, 0.0% nice, 34.7% system, 51.1% interrupt, 13.4% idle Mem: 6660K Active, 4976K Inact, 7204K Wired, 2660K Cache, 2445K Buf, 480K Free Swap: 128M Total, 25M Used, 103M Free, 19% Inuse PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 6672 root 66 0 588K 336K RUN 195:30 64.93% 64.93% tar last pid: 6742; load averages: 0.94, 0.99, 0.93 16:42:57 (same old blurb) PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 6672 root 56 0 588K 336K RUN 219:09 46.46% 46.46% tar In other words, in the space of 58 seconds the CPU time usage has gone up by 23 minutes. This happens in sudden jumps; the rest of the time things look OK. Any ideas what could be causing it? I'm running a -CURRENT kernel built round 25 June, and probably supped within a day of building. I'm running xntpd, but that doesn't seem to be the reason: the time's been OK for weeks. The machine's been running since 29 June.
