set up ksystemguard, but it seems to be called "system monitor" now,
who knows...
set up the graphs to watch the drive access, cpu usage, memory usage,
swap and network usage and any thing else you can think off. Also look
at the other tab and try and see what is dropping after that 30
minutes of time.
Seems with this new guard you just have to add tabs to get new graph
monitors in it.
Good luck.
