Ah, |

I have had a similar problem a few months ago on one system (AMD 64 X2). |
| 13 |
I never figured it out, but I suspect that rebuilding X, KDE and many |
| 14 |
other utilities over time, fixed it. X seems to use more resources than |
| 15 |
it should. But, in reality, after a while, it just went away. None of the |
| 16 |
other AMD 64 X2 systems I manage, had the problem. The load was always 1.0 |
| 17 |
or higher. |

I think I even posted to this list and we discussed the meaning of "load" |
| 21 |
too. |

Here's some good reading on "load average" |
