To expand on this a little... what would cause 2.2 to report 1.0 loadavgs when there's nothing going on? I've noticed this happening after killing threads and such and rebooting is the only way to get it back to 0. Is this a bug under 2.2? (Although I first noticed it after running X, it's now happening even without.)

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?
