One thing I'd like to add to Florian's comment ... If you have not yet
tried it, install a copy of 'htop' from Dag Wieers' SourceForge
repository. There is an el6 version of the repo configuration rpm
available at: packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/
'htop' is an excellent tool for poking around processes, and allows you
to scroll vertically *and* horizontally through the process list. I
much prefer it to traditional 'top'.
