Try this:
top -bc | tee topdata
That will save everything to a file called topdata while also letting you
watch it scroll by. Not as easy to catch the bad periods that way, the
output is going to be a huge data file, but you'll have a log to sort
through of everything. Control-C to get out of there when you're bored.
