I never expierenced that while making files I allways had (on Redhat 8.0 2.4 kernel) a good summ of the cpu % of each process > Perhaps you need to look at the rate of process creation: gkrellm can do > this. I looked at gkrellm, I guess (not complety sure if i interpret the graph ok) that i have 6 forks pro second. i still cant explain why there is such a enormous difference between CPU-usage overall and cpu usage for the main processes, i'am checking in data and mysqld has 0% CPU utilization....... Do you know of any other tools which show cpu usage for each process? With kind regards Fons van der Beek > -- > C.
