Hi,
	I was just compiling kde3 on my home pc, and I noticed some
interesting behavior. It seems that whenever there's ANY real heavy disk
activity, the "system" cpu usage % number (in top and in systat -vm)
skyrockets from 0.8% to around 50-70%. I was wondering which of the recent
changes could have caused this... also in systat, the increase of the
system % number seems to correspond with zfod, cow, and prcfr numbers
jumping. Any ideas?


Ken
