cpu speed problem

[fedora]

Hi Mikkel
that is exactly what i was thinking: you could not detect extra 
processes, consuming all the cpu power, exept at one time, when i made 
run top in order to see, which process swallowed the cpu power. but top 
showed me that itself (the top process) swallowed all cpu power up to 
100 % which seemed very strange to me.

but now for a start i have gathered the vacuuum cleaner and sucked the 
dust away. we will see whether that helps.
