| |
I'm noticing an abnormally high system CPU% and load when running X under the last three of the 2.2pre kernels (2.2.0pre6 definitely did not show this behavior).
Under pre6 with an "idle" machine and X up, I saw a CPU% and load of zero or very near zero.
Under pre7,8 and 9 the machine stays at a load of about 0.3, top reports a constant use of about 5% of the CPU by X and from 10-30% in system. No swap is in use.
Machine: Dual P2 400, 256MB RAM Kernels: 2.2-pre[7,8,9] SMP Install: RedHat 5.2 + updates for 2.2kernels X Server: AcceleratedX 4.1
I'd like to track this down further, but am not sure what to check. Does anyone have any ideas for better tracking this down?
