Anything urgent?

Is there anything else on the system that 'feels wrong' or is it just the warning message that has you concerned.
Performance issues?

That's a good.

What about a simple TOP or PS -EF and SORT bu CPU time used?

But before you get all exited, please review the reliability of the messenger.
Where does that message come from exactly?
What tool? How did the tool come to that decision?

And uh... do read up on the prior references.

Cheers,
Hein.
