SubjectSystem state too high for too long...
Date
This problem has now been persistent enough in the last few kernels
I've run that I've subscribed (once again) to the linux-kernel list
and would like to report it.
I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r9.

When the system is compiling something, the state typically
stays at about 85-95% system time. This just really does not
seem right for my workload, and additionally only appeared
a few releases ago (sorry, I didn't bother to track it - I thought
it might go away in a release or two; but it has not).

Here is a little output of 'vmstat 5' when this is happening:
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system--
----cpu----

Can someone help me to debug this further? Thanks.
