[Mono-list] xsp / mono processes question

[Chris Turchin]

Hi,

I have been noticing this for a while (probably was always that way) but am not
sure if this is normal or if I have a configuration problem:

On my machine with apache/mod_mono the mono processes are always at the top of
the process table (sorted by time and/or %cpu) and two of them seem to always be
using between 3 and 5% of my cpu, even when idle. is this normal / to be
expected?

It doesn't bother me except that I would like to know if it "function as
designed" or not.

thanks.
