Whenever I'm online via ethernet,once daily, I see a large block of system and nice on the proc monitor, followed by a section of I/O wait and user on the proc monitor.
Running top during these times revealed update-apt-xapi was using ~98% CPU during the system/nice block.
After a 15 second pause, updateb-mlocat was using approximately 50% proc.
Also, Clearing firefox browser adds 5% of cache to RAM usage.
Also, when I play .avi, .mkv, .mp4 files with totem, my cache on RAM usage never drops off after closing totem.
Is this normal?
How do I correct this if it isn't?
Thanks in advance. I will perform any diagnostics you request.
Edit: update-mlocat.b showing up once per week.
RAM while online =20% now.
