I'm running a stock Edge install with no big services like Apache, etc. In
KSysGuard, my CPU Usage is pegged at about 100%. I'm was completely baffled
by why my machine is so unresponsive until I saw this! Can someone help
explain its meaning?
Here's the process list at the moment.

I know this ain't Windows, but should I just do a complete reinstall of
Kubuntu Feisty? Maybe delete my ".kde" directory and begin with fresh
preferences?
Help, Bob
