florinn: that's my experience too, 2.6.37 makes my laptop silent again, and the load balancing ticks are much, much fewer.
I see that you run the RC2 version of 2.6.37, just thought I'd mention that the final version of 2.6.37 is out on http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/. The name says "Natty", but it runs fine on Maverick as well :) You may want to try the 2.6.38RC2 Natty kernel as well - It seems very fast, but in my experience this kernel made my laptop run hotter and the fans run all the time - but I guess that's a separate issue ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 Title: Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
