I found a screenshot from ‘top’ I ran in ‘xterm’ from quite a while ago (I guess at least 6 months). I was wondering why my machine became a bit sluggish and I suspected my dnetc client. It seemed that iptotald was using way too much CPU power, for the job it was doing (getting some ethernet traffic statistics). After removing iptotald from my system, it became faster again and my frown was turned upside down.
