Yes, I saw similar results with a recent 3.2-stable kernel, but not with a kernel from around July. Same hardware. On the same box, with a kernel from the end of august, top takes about 20 seconds to display the list. Reboot with an older kernel, and it comes up in 1-2 seconds... Never could find a reason, so I ripped it out and put in single UNI boards for this application, and I'm happy.
