I don't have a different suggestion to those already made, but I do
have a related question for everybody:  would there be any value in
having a CPU minimum load setting that would trigger a red flag??  I'm
thinking that in a normally heavily loaded system, a sudden drop in
cpu activity could indicate a problem.  Or is there already a way to
invert the condition??  I don't have a set of manual pages handy to
check right now...
