sds: "first of all, loadavg is not about CPU:" Yes, thanks for pointing that out. The issues were in the is the cpu busy or idle counting portion of the code, but the overall load average includes pending processes and I/O wait.
And yes, top does not always explain loadavg. Sorry for misleading this thread. There are many senarios where it will not. I have just found it to be, generally, useful to try to get an approximation of the actual load for otherwise idle desktop systems on other bug reports or forum threads (when the poster has provided the information). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985661 Title: High load average To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-desktop/+bug/985661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
