the CPU is going over 100%. This is what I see with "top -c":
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
xxxx root 20 0 2296m 107m 17m S 165 5.2 56:47.97 /usr/bin/reddcoind
Does anyone know why this is? Thanks for your help!!

I think the total in top is 100% multiplied with the number of cores. Read all the answers to this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1032357/comprehending-top-cpu-usage

to max out the CPU and MEM on the server.

check your conf file, does it have a
gen=1
for mining? Switch it off by
gen=0

If not, let it run for a few minutes, to download the blockchain, then check again.
I don't know redd, but my wallets use 0.3 - 2 %.

HTH :-)
