Hey folks,
I've had an issue with the processor loads being relatively high lately. When I take a look at top, there's a process on the top of the list that I'm not familiar with called "mDNSResponder" that's registering some pretty high CPU %'s.
top - 13:50:33 up 5:20, 1 user, load average: 1.35, 1.76, 1.70
Tasks: 182 total, 2 running, 180 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 51.3% us, 1.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 45.4% id, 1.5% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.2% si
Mem: 3113828k total, 2556540k used, 557288k free, 97348k buffers
Swap: 2096440k total, 0k used, 2096440k free, 1618912k cached
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4183 nobody 18 0 14092 1976 636 S 99.5 0.1 309:31.89 mDNSResponder
4362 mysql 15 0 139m 33m 4940 S 1.0 1.1 3:43.19 mysqld
I'm relatively new to all this, so if it's something that is legitimate and should be running, then please forgive my ignorance. It just seems to be the only thing on the machine that is taxing the processor and I have no idea what it is.
Can someone give me some info on this?
Thank you!
