Well, another box running RH4.2 doesnt act that
way...idle goes from 97% to 99%...the box running 6.0
goes from idle ~8% to ~98%. I know top is not going to
explain my tenet problems, but its curious that the
telnet will not die if I am running top (which leads
me to believe that it is pushing some processor hog
into lower status that causes the idle to jump up). I
know there was an unrelated K6-2 bug, (depending on
the stepping of your processor) but i wonder if there
is something related...
