Hi, I have a fairly busy mailserver which also has a simple iptables
ruleset (blocking some IP's) running 2.6.7 with the deadline i/o
scheduler. vmstat was reporting that system time was around 80%. I did
the following

readprofile -r ; sleep 240 ; readprofile -n -m /boot/System.map-`uname
-r` | sort -rn -k 1,1 | head -22

I am trying to determine where the system time is going and don't have
