Public bug reported: Since i moved 2 of my desktops to Natty, they show an unexpected load of 0.6 to 2 when they are idle (used to be <= 0.01 in Maverick).
When playing something with mplayer, it's now jerky, every minute or so, there's a tiny glitch (both sound and video), it was perfectly fine before Natty. $ uptime 02:56:16 up 17 min, 4 users, load average: 0.78, 0.90, 0.76 $ vmstat 5 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 1892116 78980 373572 0 0 206 24 85 389 9 1 85 5 0 0 0 1892108 78980 373572 0 0 0 0 81 290 4 0 96 0 0 0 0 1892108 78980 373572 0 0 0 17 67 261 4 0 96 0 0 0 0 1892076 78984 373572 0 0 0 1 66 266 4 0 96 0 0 0 0 1892076 78984 373572 0 0 0 1 66 262 3 0 96 0 0 0 0 1892076 78992 373572 0 0 0 7 70 281 4 0 96 1 0 0 0 1892108 78992 373572 0 0 0 0 67 263 4 0 96 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.37-7-generic 2.6.37-7.19 Regression: Yes Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.37-7.19-generic 2.6.37-rc3 Uname: Linux 2.6.37-7-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
