I am running 9.04 and recently installed system log viewer (gnome-utils). On run, the application appears to hang when attempting to gather logs. The processor load and memory utilisation start to climb until the system hangs and I need to reboot.

Has anyone else experienced this odd behaviour?

I also noted that mythwelcome added quite a hit to the processor load as compared with the front end. Any explanations to this?

PS.
I am also running the stable version of the HVR-2200 driver from steve toth (which is still very new).

Are any of the logs really big?

sudo du -h /var/log
