After installing all of the most recent updates.  Then fixing the
botched patch roll out so that I could boot the system again.  I still
have wretched load averages.   My host, violet 2.6.32-24-generic
#42-Ubuntu SMP, is still experiencing load averages of > 1 after a
reboot and waiting 5 min for it to settle.  I am writing this with a
load average of 1.14.  Firefox is using 8% cpu, Xorg is using 3% cpu and
top is using 1% cpu.  A bout a half dozen gnome applications using < 0.7
% cpu.

I can not fathom that moi is the only one to be complaining yet.   What
is the bug ID for the unreasonable load averages on unused systems so
that we can add to that case now.  OOPS!  Wow, typing in to the box here
on the web page just threw the load average to 2.0.   FF still peaks at
18% cpu and that is about it.    So if this is the kernel that has the
fixes in it.   It may be more "accurately" reporting a load average.  A
Load average that is unreasonable for the kind of load running on a box.
If this were my old K5 box with 64M or ram I might be more inclined to
give slack, but 3GHz 64 bit host cpu.  No.

Has something catastrophic happened in Ubuntu?  I see from the canonical
page you lost a member of the team.  I can understand that is a hard
thing particularly if he was well liked across the company, but really
guys pull it together.  If that is the reason for these two kernel
issues and the botched patch it really doesn't look on Ubuntu.
