This is just LXTerminal open, no activity on my computer except it keeps the
WiFi connection open.

So, I'm gradually reducing possibilities. I'll try over night with just
launching LXTerminal to get a 'top', close it and try again in the morning.
I will disable the WiFi connection over night.

Regards,

Phill.
