Subject: High load with 2.5.x

I have the last 2.5.x kernels experienced a high load while idle. 1.00
mostly. I have dual cpu, and it isn't really bothering me. But I do not
experience this with 2.4.x kernels. I do not remember when this started,
but since noone else complains, I just want to ask how can I find out
what is making my load so high?

Regards,
Stian

top(1) should report cpu time consumers.

But it didn't. But as others have replied to me off-list, processes in D
state make the loadaverage high. My problem was [kIrDAd]. Compiling
kernel without irda actually solved several problems. So now I'm just
happy :) Thanks :)
