If top does not show processes which cause visible high overall CPU load, then this might indicate many short running processes. You could estimate the number of processes created in a second by a bash run like ( echo $BASHPID ) ; sleep 1 ; ( echo $BASHPID ) which gives me e.g. 4482 4485 and thus indicates that my machine does not busily fork processes. > Intel E3815 A single core CPU. That's unusual in our time. Have a nice day :) Thomas
