[Bug 826504] Re: System becomes extremely sluggish
* Any processes gobbling cpu, memory, or disk IO? (top, ps, nmon, atop, free -m, nice/ionice, etc.)
Whatever active applications are running take up whatever resources there are. If I'm running Pidgin, Pidgin will be taking 40%+. If it's nautilus, nautilus takes up 40%+. Even if I run 'top' to check with, it becomes the dominating process. Other than whatever I'm actively using (don't understand why that happens), there's no unusual or background activities taking up all the resources.
* Got any unusual cron jobs set up?
I haven't touched cron jobs at all since my install.
* Is it swapping to disk? (top or vmstat should show this, or the %wa number in top)
I checked last time this happened, it was at 0.0%.
* Can you repro it in a guest session?
* Can you repro it on a Live CD?
Haven't tried either of these yet - I'll try to give them a shot, but as the problem shows up seemingly at random, not sure when I'll be able to turn up results.
* Any firmware updates for your motherboard?
All my firmware should be fully up to date. I check for BIOS updates every few months just to be on top of things, but nothing since 2007, I think!
