Hmm, peculiar things going on with newsgrazer 72.2. At our site we have two  
slabs and one cube. All are running release 2.1 of the OS and all have  
newsgrazer. On the slabs, newsgrazer shows no signs of abnormalty (Monitor and  
ps show normal CPU usage) but on the cube, newsgrazor takes MORE and MORE CPU  
the less we do! Eventually it will settle around 30% of CPU time, even if it  
sits idle (or seems to do so).
I have not the slightest clue as to what could be the cause, especially as the  
three machines are not all running exactly the same software. (They are being  
used for different purposes.)
