This happenned to me in FC4 with gamin-0.1.0-1.1. CPU usage would peg for a
while, then be normal for a while, on the order of 30 to 90 seconds.

I was running an application that reads and writes a couple large files at a
time for several minutes. I was watching the directory in File Browser and
clicked Reload in the browser several times, and deleted a few files at a time,
a few minutes before I noticed the CPU usage. The directory has about 220 files,
and is in the /data partition which is mounted under / It is a dual processor
system.

When I did kill -SIGUSR2 the CPU usage immediately went back to normal and
remained normal. I'm attaching the beginning of the debug file.
