Try doing a top -s.01 Every instance of this I start causes my load average to jump about 1.0 or so. I should warn that I am on an SMP system, I don't know how top deals with that. But anyways, my thinking is that by starting a high load process your load averages should go up. If they don't it must be some sort of evil bug.
