Hello.
Load of the machine jumps to 2.00 and birdc respond's very slowly. It takes minutes to "display protocols" and it becomes worse and worse. The CPU was 100% busy? In kernel or in userspace (BIRD)? (see 'top')
I still had top output in history:
last pid: 76966; load averages: 2.00, 2.00, 2.00 up 3+09:57:45 12:01:27 64 processes: 2 running, 62 sleeping CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 25.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 74.8% idle Mem: 77M Active, 56M Inact, 366M Wired, 292K Cache, 418M Buf, 3445M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free
FYI under normal conditions top looks like: last pid: 2033; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+02:39:36 12:23:06 27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.1% system, 0.1% interrupt, 99.8% idle Mem: 169M Active, 30M Inact, 310M Wired, 24K Cache, 149M Buf, 3443M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free This computer has one quad-core CPU, to 25% systems meens 100% on 1 core IMHO.
