three recording going and my system is going over 20 in top's

I've included a snap of top. But where should I be looking? Or
what info should I post here? Again I've been running since
April 2011 and have never seen this load issue.</div>

I would be concerned about the swap. You have 500MB of swap used. In
my experience as soon as the system starts swapping performance
falls off dramatically. Is it a 64bit system? With only 2 GB memory
it could be a 32 bit system. Perhaps you moved from a 32 bit
operating system to a 64 bit one and that may require more memory.<br>
