CPU utilization is minimal. Even when I launch applications, CPU seems nominal. The thing that strikes me odd, is, when I open Gnome-Terminal the hardisk chuggs away for a couple of seconds. What is gnome terminal looking for or loading. I would think that the loading of gnome terminal would be less than 500 ms or so. But every time I launch it, chug, chug, chug .....
