Has anyone else noticed that XFree86 3.2 will in many cases (but
not always) cause a 2.2 or 3.0 system to report a load average of at
least 1.0? ps/top both indicate little or no CPU activity, but the
load average does not fall below 1.0 unless I kill off X.
I'm running AfterStep 1.0pre6 as the window manager, but the X
application mix can vary (with or without Netscape running, xterm
windows with very little update activity, etc.) What would cause
FreeBSD to report a load average of 1+ when there is no system load?
