Since booting 2.6.0-test8 yesterday, my load average has been about 2
larger than it should, as far as I can tell. The machine is basically
idle, 2-way SMP (which probably explains the 2).
$ uptime
8:22pm up 1 day, 4:52, 5 users, load average: 2.05, 2.06, 2.01
$ top | head
top - 20:23:59 up 1 day, 4:53, 5 users, load average: 2.06, 2.06, 2.01
Tasks: 80 total, 1 running, 79 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.4% us, 0.3% sy, 3.2% ni, 95.6% id, 0.6% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Mem: 1033756k total, 1005092k used, 28664k free, 471228k buffers
Swap: 2000084k total, 0k used, 2000084k free, 117040k cached
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

I looked in /src/linux-2.6.0-test8/Documentation/Changes, and it
recommends procps 3.1.13. Debian has 3.1.12 currently, but I compiled
3.1.13 and it is telling me the same thing. Top says nothing is using
CPU, and that there is only one task running. Why the loadave of 2?
Can anyone explain this?
