My desktop system usually has load < 0.10, but under 4.2 & 4.3, it would a few times per day jump up to hover around 1.0 for about 20 minutes. Network device lights show no internet traffic, "ps" and "top" show nothing using unusual CPU or memory. Xosview (which runs continually) shows nothing unusual. In several weeks with 4.4, I've only seen this once, IIRC. Any ideas what could cause that behavior? (I'm fairly sure that my system monitoring tools (or anything else) have not been cracked.)
