Wild guess: I have seen that happening on machines that slow down the
CPU when they go "sleeping" - hence, the different processes still
running (screen saver, maybe the odd daemon) could be queuing for CPU
time a bit longer - after all, load 1 only means, that one process is
waiting for CPU time all the time.
