I'm running 9-stable on all my computer. (csup yesterday).

On my desktop everything is fine. But I've two laptop, (both are Dell). On
both latptop I've problem about the load, event when I do nothing I got a
load between 0.5-1.

Here the result of a «top» on the laptop :

last pid:  2434;  load averages:  0.63,  0.67,  0.59 up 0+00:23:59
22:25:29
57 processes:  3 running, 54 sleeping
CPU:  2.7% user,  0.0% nice,  3.7% system,  1.4% interrupt, 92.2% idle
Mem: 89M Active, 92M Inact, 198M Wired, 13M Cache, 100M Buf, 3529M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free

Here on the desktop :

last pid: 61010;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00 up 2+11:02:42
22:29:08
126 processes: 1 running, 125 sleeping
CPU:     % user,     % nice,     % system,     % interrupt,     % idle

What I understand of your message (I'm definitvly not a dev) is that's only
a little problem of accounting.

I'm not absolute sure of that because my laptop fan never stop...

If you want any more information...

Definitely, because here I don't see much.

Generally, all CPU loads and load averages now calculated via sampling, so theoretically with spiky load numbers may vary for many reasons. I would start from collecting information about running processes. To find fast switching processes that could hide from accounting try `top -SH -m io -o vcsw`. To get more information about scheduler work, use /usr/src/tools/sched/schedgraph.py (instruction inside it).
