Public bug reported:

Many programs are fairly slow to start on my computer, despite it being
relatively new (core i5). Suspecting a heavy CPU usage, I started gnome-
system-monitor: all processes were displayed at 0% CPU, but the overall
load was 1.33; 1.33; 1.34.

Using the "top" command, however, revealed the real CPU use, with the
"initctl" process taking 100%CPU, even 1 hour after startup.

I upgraded to roaring ringtail before checking this but the symptoms
were the same with quantal quetzal, so there is a fair chance the causes
were identical.

Regards
