How that? I do not understand. Do you mean: You see many status changes?
If yes, why?

Of how many systems are we talking? If for any reason the display is 
changing very often, this may actually cause troubles, since a display
update takes quite some CPU time.

Also, check if you have set the "-ImmediateHTML" option in
bb-display.cfg - if it is set to on (leading "+") then this will cause
much additional I/O.

Also, image maps are rather CPU consuming (unfortunately). Are you using
image maps?

Also, have a look at the system performance (top): Is the system heavily
loaded or is just bsmon slow without actually putting load on the
system? In this case check if you have disabled DNS resolution in
bb-display.cfg (something like "%Option -DNS").

Last but not least, if you really really get a performance problem, you
could think about moving the /var/lib/bigsister/ directory onto a fast
media like e.g. tmpfs. Of course, you'd have to think about how you
initialize the directory after a reboot - e.g. copy over the original
/var/lib/bigsister.

I'd be interested in knowing what actually causes your performance
troubles, that's why I'm explicitly asking/mentioning so many things
that have performance impacts.

Best regards,
Tom
