[Bug 50335] Re: Load average never below 1.5 on dapper

[Onno Benschop]

** Description changed:

  When I boot dapper (upgraded from breezy via apt-get dist-upgrade) on my
  laptop (IBM ThinkPad R52, 1.7Ghz, 1GB, Ati X300 - pcix), load average is
  always above or at 1.5. I turn on my laptop, boot dapper, log in, and
  after 15 minutes i do 'uptime', and the load average is 1.5. When I
  issue 'top', and sort by CPU usage (shift-f l) i see that most cpu time
  went to Xorg, then to thinkpad-keys and then to multiload-applet-2.
  Xorg, according to top, took only 15 seconds of CPU time. I'm not sure
  how accurate top is on gathering those information.
  
  When I boot dapper with 2.6.12 kernel, and replay what I mentioned
  above, load average is 0.05 with top times almost the same as with
  2.6.15 kernel.
  
  I tried removing fglrx driver both from xorg.conf and putting it in
  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, the results are the same.
  
  On home desktop PC (Intel D850MV mb, 1.7Ghz P4, 768 MB RAMBUS, ATA disk
  driver) 2.6.15 works ok (also dapper upgraded from breezy), load
- avereage is 0.12, and I have firefox and evolution runnnig.
+ avereage is 0.12, and I have firefox and evolution runnig.
