19.77% seems very high for what appeared to be a idle system running
X-Windows and two idle web browsers. Any ideas on how to find what is
causing it to be so high?
(in the above, sda is solid state disk used by /, sdb+sdc is the underlying
disk used by md0 which is raid1)
Is dropping a bit now, but still high:

Also considered the possibility that md0 is resyncing - that would explain
everything. Unfortunately /proc/mdstat says it isn't.
