Comment 54 for bug 838811

Addendum (to post#53): I see the errors and omitions in my previous reply, in that more time had passed between "ps waux" commands than I thought and I was glossing over the "vmstat" results. I'll see if I can create a similar senario as you, for context switch rates and interrupt rates with very high idle percentage, and report back (might take hours, might take days).
