The arge sys value indicates that all of teh cpu time is being spent
in the kernel.  This may be due to a bug in the kernel, or a bug
in libc that is asking the kernel to do something stupid over & over
Its possible that its some slib/guile bug but I doubt it ... There 
is nothing that gnucash can do that would cause the kernel to waste
time.  Upgrade your libc, your dynamic library loader and/or your
kernel.  I'm guessing there's some versuion mismatch between these.
