</div>With 2.6.35.6-43.fc14.i686.PAE, after letting the machine quiet down a bit<br>
after logging in and starting up Firefox and Thunderbird:<br>
<br>
<br>
top - 10:45:59 up 8 min, 14 users, load average: 0.81, 1.65, 1.12<br>
Tasks: 184 total, 2 running, 182 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie<br>
Cpu(s): 2.0%us, 0.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.0%id, 0.2%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st<br>
<br>
Top causes for wakeups:<br>
40.6% (117.7) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick<br>
29.8% ( 86.4) firefox<br>
5.9% ( 17.1) konsole<br>
5.4% ( 15.6) PS/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad interrupt<br>
3.7% ( 10.7) thunderbird-bin<br>
3.6% ( 10.5) [ata_piix] <interrupt><br>
<br>
Actually moving the mouse and typing seems to bring the load back up to 1.<br>
Never saw it go below .8<br>
