Subject is terse . . . . my question is why my box is spending so
much time in system on big compiles (mozilla, frinstance)? I am
used to seeing lots of system time in use with lots of swapping,
but in this case there isn't any swap in use.
sorry for the munged output: it's also attaches if that helps.

from the looks of things, I have lots of swapping (that's how I
read context switches) and perhaps I just have brutally slow
disks. The only thing happening right now is a big rm job and I
didn't think that would be a real taxing job.

The opossum is a very sophisticated animal. It doesn't even get
up until 5 or 6 p.m.
