I checked both of them already and they are on the right build.

Thanks for the tip. The behavior does feel like something is hogging the
system. But I wasn't sure of a good way of checking that. If something is
maxing out the CPU, is there someway for me to figure out what the specific
process is? I know I could sit and watch 'top' for a few hours waiting for
it to happen, but I would hope there was something easier than that.
