On what should be an idle desktop, I'm seeing really strange things. The XFCE CPU meter shows both cores are running with no idle time.
here's the top of the top(1) output.. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 10 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 200.0 0.0 185301:36 rcu_preempt 553 root 20 0 268m 76m 6764 S 200.0 2.6 144579:53 Xorg 1199 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 200.0 0.0 306:17.85 kworker/1:0 501 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 200.0 0.0 4471:03 kworker/0:2 12 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 200.0 0.0 67277:16 rcuop/1 1237 davej 20 0 535m 15m 8484 S 200.0 0.5 3645:16 Terminal 859 davej 20 0 117m 3036 1336 S 200.0 0.1 1986:55 htop There are a lot of processes allegedly using "200%" of CPU time, a handful in the "196%" range, and then a bunch at 0. rcu_preempt is staying at the top of the list while everything else bubbles up the list. And what's up with those TIME entries? Box has only been up a few hours, so those numbers look really crazy. RCU options for this build are..
