It all gets down to the question whether it "stays" in Userland or in |
| 12 |
Kernel context in such a situation. If this happens in Userland, CPU |
| 13 |
utilization will probably be high in such a situation and it must be |
| 14 |
due to a high priority process when X is that much slowed down - which |
| 15 |
itself is already running at high prio. |

So I very much guess it's a kernel issue. Compiling a fresh new one |
| 18 |
would be my first advice. |

BTW, are you using any kernel based network filesystems (NFS, Samba, |
| 21 |
ncpfs), FUSE, or PPP? The trick here would be to simply selectively |
| 22 |
disable each one of these and watch if it keeps happening. |
