Processes are mostly idle

This is a copy of ACE1pack.jl#127.

It's not clear to me where the issue should be.

I'm trying to assemble a large-ish lsq system, similar to Si and I noticed that the processes doing the assembly aren't doing any real work. Here is a typical output of top:

Memory does not appear to be the issue.

Can't help much until later in the week, but this is different from what I usually see, so I'm not immediately sure what to suggest.

[cortner]

no rush at all - thanks.

I haven't seen this problem lately. I will reopen if I spot it again.
