Could yoy please provide a bit more description? What do you mean by a spike? What kind of cpu and other hardware? Software versions of testing components (if upgraded)?

ok, fire up gkrellm. watch "cpu" every 5 seconds I get a complete cpu spike to the top of the meter. when pc goes into screensaver mode, every 5 seconds, xscreensaver halts for 1 second, then continues.
I am on a Dell C840 laptop, PIII700, 384RAM, 40GB, nvidia graphics (from FC3T3 not nvidia)...nothing special as far as testing, this is stock FC3T3.
Thanks.
You might want to check the GKrellM web site first, the FAQ may be helpful.
yes, I've looked at that. this didn't occur on FC1 or FC2 so I don't think it's gkrellm specific. I still think it's picking up some logging on ext3 or something like that.

I don't see anything unusual in top. The spike is so quick, it's literally a straight up line in gkrellm, just every 5 seconds.
I'm not sure what else I can use to monitor this. I wouldn't even know about it if gkrellm hadn't shown it to me. It doesn't affect performance really, but it's annoying to know it's there.
any other ideas are welcome.
