Thats not very helpful unless you can provide the list with your .config from this kernel so that we can find out WHICH kernel option is causing this horrid cpu use. For example, in the BF1942 beta's kernels compiled with SMP support suffered from excessive cpu use when idle (to the order of 30-40%).
I suppose it could be the kernel, but why would 3.1.1.0 be half decent with my 2.6.0-test2 kernel (and 2.4.2x and 2.5.7x) and 3.1.1.1+ not be, unless there is some significant changes in there somewhere. At any rate, it should not be kernel specific... surely there is an option in there that is interacting poorly.
