Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 18:55:00 +0000 Lines: 9 Message-ID: <328B6B04.41C67EA6@connectnet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: imag.connectnet.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a Petn 75 with 16 megs of ram, and whenever i'm in X, my load averages are anywhere above 0.50 with nothing running. Just now i noticed that X has been running for about 4 hours and has taken up about 6 hours and 20 minutes of CPU time. Normally i've only got 2 or 3 IRC sessions and a telnet session open and my load averages are around 1.00. Any ideas to look at would be appreciated, thanks. Chris
