I've noticed the same on one of my systems. I can't verify it right now,
unfortunatly, because I can't get the Ma64 server to work properly under
-stable. :) But the load had increased to ~1.00 on a regular basis when
running X, compared to about .3 under 312D.
Btw, anyone else have any insights about why Ma64 would crash under
-stable? :)
