Hi,
since my CPU monitor displayed a unexpected CPU usage I wanted to hunt
down the problem. But top displays a strange output. It tells me that
23% of CPU are used by userland processes. But I only see 1.5% used in
the process listing. The galeon-bin process shows alot of used CPU time
(for this small uptime), and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the galeon
process which is eating the majority of the CPU resources (I have ~85
tabs open with content), but I object to the 0% CPU display then.
The galeon process spends alot of time in the kserel state.
This is -current as of yesterday. Any ideas?
