I just noticed something odd and am looking for ideas...
As you can see from the top snippet below, snmpd is getting hammered
by something. As a comparison, the load averages for this quad-core
box are usually close to zero.
I'm not even sure I'm using snmpd for anything... not even sure what
it is, precisely.
I'm digging into docs at the moment, but any ideas much appreciated.
