@Luis: not 100%, not even "1.00%" - as you wrote. Load average is a pure
number not percent value as far as I know :) But it's "top" or "uptime"
which can report three load average values, for different long time
periods as far as I know.

Top reports almost 100% idle, though the load average is near to 1.00
which is odd, since if machine is almost idle, why load avg should be
1.00 or a value nearby? It should be near zero then, instead.

@Joseph + Cyril: Unfortunately I can't remember when it started to
happen. What I am sure about: it's there with 3.2.0-23-generic-pae
kernel. I haven't noticed it with earlier ones, -21- was before (I
haven't ever used -22- , lack of reboot meanwhile). If it's important I
can check the situation with older kernels, but I have no access to that
computer till the next week (at my workplace).
