Looked for postfix, but not there. BTW, even a ps -aux seems to take at least 30 sec before it spits out anything! I'd send output, but I'm in Dallas and won't be back to my computer for several weeks. I ran 'gtop' while I was doing an su, but couldn't see anything pop up that was too unusual. Altho I did see /usr/bin/python creep up but not that it seemed out of place as far as I could tell.
