Hmmm....
I'm running a P133 ....
The task that seems to get this going is a large copy task. The box 
is an nfs server and if you copy a large file to one of its 
filesystems (200-300Mbytes). 

looking at top there is nothing inparticular going on (2% to 3%)
cpu utilization and 4 nfsd's mostly asleep.

Why would the cpu be a reasonable guess...
