    Keep a close eye on the wait (%wa). Use smartd to determine if you may have a hard drive failure.

    The CPU load (load averages) and CPU percentages differ greatly because they do not measure the same thing.

    Try running the following command and let us know the output:

    top -b -n 1 | awk '{if (NR <=7) print; else if ($8 == "D") {print; count++} } END {print "Total status D: "count}'
    Code (markup):
