what o/s?
# uname -a


First, run
# top

to see whether any processes are consuming the CPU.

Do you have glance installed?
What kind of server do you have and how many CPUs?

Use these tools to figure out what's going on

vmstat: command=vmstat 2
-- Will give one line report every 2 seconds showing general CPU info as well as paging/swap and some other info.

iostat: command=iostat 2
-- Will give report every 2 seconds listing I/O devices and their activity rate. Give you a good view of the amount of I/O going on.

top: command=top
-- lists a number of things, but mostly shows which processes are using CPU and at what rate

There are other tools, but these should get you a good feeling for what your system is doing in terms of CPU and I/O utilization.

Also, maybe you should check the syslog for any I/O errors ( /usr/adm/syslog/syslog.log ). I've see failed mirror member disks cause large I/O delays system wide, which can cause even regular command line commands to hang while the I/O subsystem waits for a timeout against a failed disk.

Hth,
