- Hmm, peculiar things going on with newsgrazer 72.2. At our site we have two
- slabs and one cube. All are running release 2.1 of the OS and all have
- newsgrazer. On the slabs, newsgrazer shows no signs of abnormalty (Monitor and
- ps show normal CPU usage) but on the cube, newsgrazor takes MORE and MORE CPU
- the less we do! Eventually it will settle around 30% of CPU time, even if it
- sits idle (or seems to do so).
- I have not the slightest clue as to what could be the cause, especially as the
- three machines are not all running exactly the same software. (They are being
- used for different purposes.)
