No. before I tried "top", I tried "ls", which generates response right

I'm experiencing the same issue, although I would say that I'm also
having problems with ls. I tried restarting the ntp client to see if
the clock was slightly skewed (my previous inclination), but that didn't
seem to improve the situation. top is downright unresponsive for me.
Something is interfering with scanning /proc and anything that touches it
is being affected. I've seen this before and then it disappeared again
and I don't remember what happened or changed to make it go away.
If you run dmesg once the system is in this state, is there any
interesting output at the end?
Here are the last 25 lines of dmesg:
$ dmesg | tail -n 25
