Hello,
I have some trouble with a multithreaded java network server running on
SLES10. At random times I see the kernel take 80% of the CPU leaving iddle
to 0% for 30 seconds. After this period the system returns to normal
operation state.
Below is a vmstat -a 3 recording that shows the problem:

The application is memory stable ( no leaks ) and a deadlock is out of the
question since in a deadlock case the system would freeze forever and not
temporarily. There are around 200 - 250 tcp/ip clients connected to the
application and 550 threads ( streaming blocking sockets are used so every
client is managed by one reading thread and one writing thread)
The same application works fine on SLES9.3

Can you give me some pointers about where to start debugging this issue?
