Thank you both for the quick reply. The command worked perfectly. It seems 
that there is a problem with the gkrellm system monitor itself. It was using 
about 38% all by it self. Once I shut it down and used gnome system monitor 
it shows normal again ( 1% ish ). I'm uninstalling it now and will try 
purging then reinstal. Maybe that will help. Its a shame, I enjoy leaving 
gkrellm running on my desktop. It has alot of nice plugins. oh well, I'll see 
what happens, thanks again to you both.
