 From what I can gather on the various threads and bugzilla entries there 
are at least two different issues here: One is the "load balancing" issue 
that does I think cause actual cpu load and then there's an issue where 
process cycles get accumulated and thus counted multiple times which 
wouldn't increase the actual load but make it look as if that is the case.
