cause of sluggishness?
Hi all,
I am running FC6 on a 2.4Ghz Pentium IV with 1 Gb of RAM. After running for a while (> few days), it gets periodically really sluggish and I can't figure out why. According to top, CPU use is ok. Swap is less than half of RAM (< 512 MB), no exceptional disk activity. I usually run amule (or amuled) in the background, sometimes ktorrent as well, so there is a fair bit of network traffic. What could be making my system sluggish that doesn't show up in top etc? Thanks. |
Do ps -e to see what processes are running. Once, I had a similar issue--it turned out that updatedb was running forever. I do not remember the solution.
