[dundee] Investigating resource hungry processes

[christopher wyllie]

I tend to use top firstly. I also find 'ps -auxf' useful as it shows the %
cpu and mem usage for each process but also shows subprocesses so if
something is a child of another thing which is dying you can see what to
kill :-)

Perhaps nothing you didn't already know but hope it's helpful :-)
