I haven't tested with the mainline kernel (yet, will do later) but it's still an issue with 3.2.0-27-generic. Right now CPU is ~395% idling (two cores with hyper-threading), disk reads and writes are next to zero but the load is 1.7.
It may be because of the heat or some change in configuration and therefore unrelated but performance of the system in general seems to have taken a dive since 3.2.0-17. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995284 Title: High idle load on 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.2.0-24-generic kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/995284/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
