gkrellm question - excessive cpu usage

Since the list has been pretty quiet, I thought I'd ask about something  
that has been annoying me for a while.  Since upgrading my wife's  
Ubuntu box to 10.01, gkrellm has been using 100% of the CPU, or at  
least everything it can take without interfering with anything else.   
Both and top shows gkrellm as top user, but the system is perfectly  
responsive for other use.

I vaguely recall this happening several years ago, but I don't remember  
how I fixed it (perhaps just an upgrade or reinstall?) and couldn't  
find any forum posts about it.  At the suggestion of another Ubuntu  
forum post, I tried disabling all my plugins - but did not notice any  
difference in behavior.  However, I did notice that if started from the  
command line, gkrellm complains about three folders not being block  
devices.  All three are directories in  /etc/fstab being mounted as  
"bind" for nfs4 export.  I'm suspecting that it is the gkhdplop plugin  
that is simply trying to look at every mounted disk.  Can anyone  
confirm this, and is there any way to configure it?

Separately - I'd appreciate any other hints to try to figure out why  
gkrellm is being so CPU greedy.

Continued thanks for a great utility (I'm running it on Gentoo,  
Archlinux, Ubuntu, and Windows Vista).

Jack
