hi there, it seems that since a couple of snapshots back, load never goes below 1.00 anymore on both of my notebooks (i386 MP). what prompted me to write this email is that now my old thinkpad is affected as well.
looking at top right after boot shows that load was "normal" load averages: 1.14, 0.85, 0.43 but current load constantly being over 1.00, the averages eventually rise as well. anybody else is seeing this?
