Yes, I saw the Zen Monitor.  But it doesn't seem to answer the question
about where all the cpu time is going.  We tried for a while (me and the
author).  Alas, more exploration may still be necessary.

I'm getting more and more convinced that the problem is in the File systems
and the trackdisk.devices.  I now have a copy of AMIGAMON20, and by turning
it up to very fast, I'm able to see that the trackdisk.devices and the file
systems are being dispatched regularly, even when there is no disk activity.

Still no clues as to why, however.
