Hi, could you try downloading http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~iedowse/FreeBSD/loadps.tgz and extracting the tarfile somewhere (/tmp or whatever). Then in the "loadps" directory, type: make ./loadps axlww This should show up all processes that are currently contributing to the load average. That should at least begin to narrow down what is causing these phantom load effects. (loadps is a normal -STABLE ps with a small adjustment that causes it see only processes that are contributing to the load average - this logic is copied from loadav() in sys/vm/vm_meter.c).
