29 I was searching the web for what would cause a system to run slower than
30 normal. On one website, they said one of the things to check was the
31 'C' value, which is listed after the PID and Parent PID as 62. Since
32 that is a large value, it means that that process use using a lot of
33 system resources. I don't know what it's doing with them because
34 nothing's happening. (for 2 hours) By the way, is '-mPPC' a correct flag?

43 I have. I even edited my .bashrc file to set them every time I log in.
44 Should a Bash compiled from source be good enough? I have it installed
45 at /usr/local/bin.

55 Is this on a 64bit machine? I assume you're not running 5.2. I should
56 probably get 5.3. 5.2 has problems.
