Question: Is this user or system CPU time? Things to try: 1. strace -p $pid_of_pop3_process This will let you know what (if any) system calls are being made. 2. tcpdump port 110 This will let you see the packets flying across your network. I don't have any algorithm to solve the problems, but obviously we need more information. -- Shane Carpe Diem
