Possible conclusion...your system is swapping like mad. But why? You don't seem to be doing much. [...] The time attributed to the "swapper" tracks the system's uptime VERY closely on all my systems. For example, on one system, swapper time is 91316:32 and the system has been up 63+ days. Given there are 1440 minutes in a day, 91316/1440 = 63.4. That same system has only 0:04 "TIME" for pagedaemon. You figure. Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com ]
