This isn't really the best place to bring this up. Please send a full description to <email address hidden>. cc myself, Ingo Molnar <email address hidden>, Peter Zijlstra <email address hidden>, Jens Axboe <email address hidden>. In that email, please identify what the system is doing at the time. Is it disk-related? CPU scheduler related? etc.

Thanks.
