    Do you think that is a problem which is introduced by -rc1-mm1?

    It'd be good if you can capture the `top' output while this is happening -
    it could be the longstanding problem where an app's sleep/run pattern
    permits it to get a lot of dynamic priority boosting, even though it is
    CPU-intensive.
