I have strange problem with CPU drain. For most of the time 4 cpu (of 8 in total) cores run at 100% after few minutes when system boots (by conky).
My desktop laptop is quite powerful but because all of this cpu load it lags even if I play some music and start eclipse (for example).
I run mpstat but I looks rather ok for me - I'm not an expert in hardware topics.
At the time when I write this post I have this processes running:

If there is any information, logs and other debugs info I could provide ask me about them. Debbuging this problem looks like iceberg to me. There are so many possibilities that I don't known how to even start.
What could be a reason of this cpu drain and how to debug it?
thanks

Have you run `top`? It will show you which particular process is utilizing the CPU so highly.

If you are using kde see with graphical utility ksysguard which processes or process is hogging resources.
On gnome check with gnome-system-monitor.

Thanks for your reply. I installed gnome-system-monitor and everything looks ok. It is my conky that is giving strange informations. I will check conkys configuration file in a free while.
