My apologies for not making this more clear. The system load spike begins |
| 17 |
with the click and it hovers at or near 100% until the new task (opening a |
| 18 |
program, displaying a menu, etc) has completed. Even moving a window causes |
| 19 |
this to happen and the load only jumps on one processor, the other is idle |
| 20 |
or nearly so. When the nvidia driver is working correctly (assuming the |
| 21 |
driver is to blame) the load seems to be balanced evenly across both |
| 22 |
processors. |

In the second case you should launch "top" from a shell and see what |

top is telling me that X is the guilty party. I can renice X to a lower |
| 31 |
priority and get some responsiveness back but again, there are times when |
| 32 |
everything performs as expected. The problem is intermittant although it |
| 33 |
happens more often than not. |
