While most of the entries in this bug report are about creating and
testing with high load averages, as part of due diligence tests and
sanity checks were also done under low load conditions.  Myself and with
the final patch version, I have never observed incorrect high reported
load averages under idle or low load average conditions. For example
from right now:

(precise_i386)doug@s15:~/udev1/2770/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/precise/udev/ubuntu$
 uptime
 16:12:06 up 1 day, 12:43,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05

However, please note that I only use Ubuntu server editions and have
never used desktop versions.

My suggestion for further investigation on your system is to use the
"top" command and observe what is using systems resources. For example,
and from your attachment, look at resource use of "compiz",
"/usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service", "/usr/lib/indicator-appmenu/hud-
service".

As a side note: Since the release of 12.04 my web site, with my web
notes on this subject, has had a noteable increase in search query
traffic with search parameters such as "high load average on Ubuntu
12.04".  I think this might be because reported load averages are now
fixed and perhaps people got used to them being broken and reported too
low.
