Processor is maxed out.. yet nothing's using it

[cidion]

I have a CPU monitor running all the time...(well most of the time)

I have noticed that after a while...it maxes out at 100%

I used process viewer, and it has JAVA listed as using a huge chunk of CPU.


anyone know why?

tanks of thanks

Do you have Internet Explorer open? Or any web browser? Perhaps your web browser has a page loaded that uses Java, and the Java Machine (or whatever it's called) has been started on your computer -- Java tends to slow stuff down a bit on my machine.

This seems to be the problem

[localhost:~] cidion% ps wwax | grep -i java

It looks like you're running a server side java web application.
Did you mean to?

No...I didn't mean to.

I saw a download on apple's OS X website called Six Degrees.

it said it was cool, so I DL it, but it wasn't really very interesting.

but I didn't delete it.

I just left it there. Since removing it from the startup (login)...the processor hogging has stopped.

= ) silly proggram...thinks it's cool. but it's not.
