I saw this at one point, and the kernel folks found it to be a load
balancing thing gone awry in the kernel.

2.6.35.6-33.rc1 seems to include a patch:

- - Add sched-35-increment-cache_nice_tries-only-on-periodic-lb.patch,
another fix for excessive scheduler load balancing.

That should be in kernel-2.6.35.6-39.fc14, which is in dist-f14.  My
load went down and the laptop (also an M1330) has cooled down a bit, but
it is still above one usually.
