But the system is not processing a heavy load. Here is a capture with top:
top - 17:47:47 up 4 days, 18:58, 1 user, load average: 0.35, 0.16, 0.05 Tasks: 88 total, 3 running, 85 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 20.8% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 78.9% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.3% si Mem: 513484k total, 498216k used, 15268k free, 140744k buffers Swap: 1461872k total, 0k used, 1461872k free, 153608k cached
the "idle" percentage goes from 65 % to 95 %
