Many applications use it as a back end... Logitech's SqueezeServer for 
example. Also SwissCenter media server.

Now... looking at "top" results... mysqld using 18% CPU... and 
gnome-screenshot 17% (which is just during the screenshot).

The whole machine is not very busy when this screenshot was made... 35.9 
idle, 35.1 wait for IO... 23.6% user processes...

So Ashish, you probably want to do that screenshot when your machine is, 
indeed, seeming overloaded. Because what you show is is clearly not an 
overloaded system...

Gilles.
