Re: system load spike

[Kent Tong <kent@cpttm.org.mo>]

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:
