hi

while using 2.4.12-ac3 (plus rik's 2.4.12-ac3-vmpatch), y get a load of about 1, while
doing the same on a 2.4.10 gave about 0.10 - 0.15 load

root@core:~# uptime
1:47pm up 5:36, 4 users, load average: 1.11, 1.02, 1.04
root@core:~#

while a top doesn't show nothing to happen:

What was it? A process stuck in D state? Something like dist.net or seti?

Reminds me of recently when my X server (a couple days ago from
debian-unstable) cought a memory leak, and my system was swapping like
crazy. I thought it was something to do with the shmem problem I found a
while back, but I looked at /proc/meminfo and no errors with shmem. Finally
I checked top...

Unfortunately, the OOM killer killed a few things, all except for my X
server that was causing the problem.
