probably not the only problem - but if we are lucky then his system was
just trashing within the kernel repository and then most of the overhead
is the _unnecessary_ IO that happened due to that (which causes CPU
overhead just as much). The dominant system time suggests so, to a
certain degree. Maybe this is wishful thinking.
