I took dpkg as just single example, I don't what to try else on... bogomips reports about 50% of what is in /proc/cpuinfo, so it looks normal... I'm suspecting IDE, so it looks like when app has to work with HDD then it slows down although HDD bulb doesn't report an activity.... but I might be wrong. btw - I will put hdparm as well on the webpage We are about to setup X on that beast and I will try may be some other programs... suggestions? -- Yarik On Thu, Jun 24, 2004 at 11:58:55PM +0300, Denis Vlasenko wrote: > On Thursday 24 June 2004 23:26, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: > > please have a look at > > http://www.onerussian.com/Linux/bugs/alien/topout > > which has 4 runs of top in it > > Also I put more relevant information in > > http://www.onerussian.com/Linux/bugs/alien/ > > Spasibki Zaranee > PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND [K [0m > 1501 root 25 0 25072 17M 13612 R 67.5 1.7 1:03 dpkg [K > 1509 root 19 0 2060 1016 1852 R 25.8 0.0 0:00 top [K > So, dpkg is misbehaving.
