    for some time i've been noticing that somehow the system just seems a
    bit sluggish. one of those kinds of things that you can't quite put
    your finger on, but they keep bothering you.

    so. i've been watching top for a while, trying to see if there is
    something that perhaps looks a bit unusual.

    i notice that there is an instance of something called
    hald-addon-hid-ups which is eating up about 15% of the cpu ALL the time.
    on an athlog 2200+ cpu.

    if i stop the apcupsd service, this process disappears completely from
    the top list (about 20 procs visible).

    so. it seems that it's related to apcupsd talking to the apc ups.

    at the moment i'm running selinux in permissive mode. but, i notice
    some entries from the audit log which are seemingly related:

    scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t
    tcontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t tclass=dbus

    i'm looking for some suggestions, thoughts, advice, help about this.
