What about that:
10:42pm up 10:09, 2 users, load average: 1.40, 1.31, 1.28
166 processes: 163 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 97.0% system, 0.0% nice, 2.0% idle
CPU1 states: 0.1% user, 21.0% system, 0.0% nice, 77.0% idle
Mem: 2061632K av, 2057024K used, 4608K free, 0K shrd, 55412K buff
Swap: 1911528K av, 3060K used, 1908468K free 1513964K cached
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
5 root 16 0 0 0 0 RW 99.9 0.0 157:00 kswapd
It's looks strange and danger. On this machine squid and INN running.
Swap is on still level, but 99.9% for CPU? System without tmpfs, but
with resierfs (50GB of squid spool on 5 partitions).
