I was AFK for about 24 hours and came back to find gnome-system-monitor
saying all four CPU cores on my laptop were running at full throttle. mysqld
is taking up more than one full core; when I tried to end the process, it restarted with a new PID. Then there's ksoftirqd/0-3
, which apparently has something to do with interrupts, but I can't tell from Google what I'm supposed to do with those four particular processes. They're taking up a quarter or more of my processor cycles. Then there's Chrome, but I can probably handle that on my own -- how do I cool down the other processes giving me problems?
