I'm running into the same issues on the Lucid 64bit EBS AMI, except with
much higher load:

I have about 30 workers for misc programs running that are sitting idle,
I'm moving over from a debian lenny box at a colo with nearly identical
specs running slightly more workers with the same general setup, and the
load is sitting at around 1 on that box.
