Hi Arnall, looks like the load average calculation was wrong with the old kernel, it did not account for the soft interupts (XX%si): > top - 19:13:09 up 6:15, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.05 > Cpu(s): 1.3%us, 2.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 79.7%id, 0.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 16.8%si,
The CPU is always about 80% idle with both the old and the new kernel, and it also always spends about 16%si, and a few percents in the kernel and userspace. So it looks like you are not facing more real load, the two kernels only have a different understanding of what load is. Regards, Lukas
