Hi, I have noticed since well back in the 2.6.11-mmX series that top always reports the load average as 1.00 unless and until I kill apcupsd [an APC ups daemon]. If I do that the load average swiftly drops to 0.00 when the computer is idle. Thought it was likely an application issue but perhaps it is related so maybe I had better mention it. I'm pretty sure the 2.6.12-rcX Linus tree does the same thing, while vanilla 2.6.11 and the -ac tree don't display this behavior. apcupsd doesn't seem to actually use excessive resources -- CPU or memory -- even if I let it run for a long time, and the CPU temperature remains at the correct idle value when idle [even though the load average is reported as 1.00]. I don't see corresponding behavior with kswapiod here after a day of uptime with 2.6.12-rc3-mm2.
