Hi all, Thanks for the replies. I've identified that it's pdflush that is causing the problem. I have 3 of them running in D state along with usb-storage. This is enough to cause a system load of 4. Adding gzip will make it 5. I've found some references stating the problems of having multiple pdflush: * http://www.stanford.edu/~csar/archives/2004/12/who_needs_pdflu.html * http://www.spoonix.org/blog/2006/09/22/ive-about-had-enough-of-pdflush
