They both tend to idle with other visable processes at 96-100% idle. root@nixn00b:~# vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 27464 5848 22848 44388 0 0 1 2 11 8 0 1 99 0 this looks pretty greek to me...but I was able to make some sence out of it with the man page..but still looks fairly normal...
