[SOLVED] Wait process holding CPU

Hi all,

Have this performance Issue,

[
Code:
srvbd1]root]/]>ps vg | head -1 ; ps vg | grep -w wait
    PID    TTY STAT  TIME PGIN  SIZE   RSS   LIM  TSIZ   TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND
   8196      - A    4448:23    0   384   384    xx     0     0 12.8  0.0 wait
  53274      - A    4179:28    0   384   384    xx     0     0 12.1  0.0 wait
  57372      - A    4436:05    0   384   384    xx     0     0 12.8  0.0 wait
  61470      - A    4173:05    0   384   384    xx     0     0 12.0  0.0 wait
[srvbd1]root]/]>ps -ef | grep 8196| grep -v grep
[srvbd1]root]/]>

There are 4 "wait" commands and it occupies like 50 % of CPU, as showed by ps aux

Code:
[srvbd1]root]/]>ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +2 | head -5
USER        PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS    TTY STAT    STIME  TIME COMMAND
root      57372 12.8  0.0  384  384      - A      Feb 20 4437:22 wait
root       8196 12.8  0.0  384  384      - A      Feb 20 4449:41 wait
root      53274 12.1  0.0  384  384      - A      Feb 20 4180:41 wait
root      61470 12.0  0.0  384  384      - A      Feb 20 4174:17 wait
fin102   299090  0.2  0.0 1992 1976      - A    09:19:01  0:42 /u02/F10204/UBS/
[srvbd1]root]/]>

Please help me killing these wait process, as they are not real processes. Help would be greatly appreciated. Server performance is very poor, even login takes hell lotta time.

PKI --GEN(1)							    strongSwan							      PKI --GEN(1)

NAME
pki --gen - Generate a new RSA or ECDSA private key SYNOPSIS
pki --gen [--type type] [--size bits] [--safe-primes] [--shares n] [--threshold l] [--outform encoding] [--debug level] pki --gen --options file pki --gen -h | --help DESCRIPTION
This sub-command of pki(1) is used to generate a new RSA or ECDSA private key. OPTIONS
-h, --help Print usage information with a summary of the available options. -v, --debug level Set debug level, default: 1. -+, --options file Read command line options from file. -t, --type type Type of key to generate. Either rsa or ecdsa, defaults to rsa. -s, --size bits Key length in bits. Defaults to 2048 for rsa and 384 for ecdsa. For ecdsa only three values are currently supported: 256, 384 and 521. -p, --safe-primes Generate RSA safe primes. -f, --outform encoding Encoding of the generated private key. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der. RSA Threshold Cryptography -n, --shares <n> Number of private RSA key shares. -l, --threshold <l> Minimum number of participating RSA key shares. PROBLEMS ON HOSTS WITH LOW ENTROPY
If the gmp plugin is used to generate RSA private keys the key material is read from /dev/random (via the random plugin). Therefore, the command may block if the system's entropy pool is empty. To avoid this, either use a hardware random number generator to feed /dev/random or use OpenSSL (via the openssl plugin or the command line) which is not as strict in regards to the quality of the key material (it reads from /dev/urandom if necessary). It is also possible to configure the devices used by the random plugin in strongswan.conf(5). Setting libstrongswan.plugins.random.random to /dev/urandom forces the plugin to treat bytes read from /dev/urandom as high grade random data, thus avoiding the blocking. Of course, this doesn't change the fact that the key material generated this way is of lower quality. EXAMPLES
pki --gen --size 3072 > rsa_key.der Generates a 3072-bit RSA private key. pki --gen --type ecdsa --size 256 > ecdsa_key.der Generates a 256-bit ECDSA private key. SEE ALSO
