Due to paranoia I like to unplug the ethernet when I am not actually using
it. I have noticed that when firefox has loaded your website and then I
unplug, CPU usage goes up. This is typical (CPU usage is from the "top"
command; "Intro" is http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/CommandLineIntro;
please view this table in plain text mode)
action firefox CPU usage %
plug in, go to dell.com stays at 0
unplug stays at 0
plug in, go to Intro (no login) 3 (fluctuates-- 0 to 5)
unplug at time=0 3
time=2 min 12
time=2 min 33 sec 22 all these fluctuate;
time=5 min 60 typical values shown
time=7 min 70
time=12 min 98
plug in at time=0 99.7
time=2 min 99.7
time=3 min 75 to 80
time=5 min 70
time=7 min 80
log in immediate drop to 3
I know next to nothing about how networks work. Can anybody shed some
light on this?
