Hi all,

I have a couple of systems that I upgraded to V5.1 patchkit #5
While I am doing a vdump for some files, I noticed that it takes longer
time than before, and the CPU usage is very very high.
This happens on all systems with V 5.1, may be I have to tweak the 5.1
version with something that I hope you can help me with.

Please advice

Mohamed

Here is some outputs for one of the systems, it is AS2100 3 CPUs 2 GB
