(My dual dual core Opteron running a one of my servers under load) PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6282 gilboa 20 0 640m 534m 648 S 361 13.5 0:16.45 userbase A multithreaded application (such as firefox) can eat 100% CPU -per- core. If you have a P4 with hyper-threading (or above), a single process can eat 200% (or above)... Never the less, firefox should not eat 102% CPU... were you running a flash-something or a heavy java applet at the time? - Gilboa -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
