The patch mentioned in posting # 76 is included in kernel 3.5-rc7, available 
here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-rc7-quantal/ 
It would be good if someone with a 12.04 desktop edition could try this kernel 
and comment.

Myself, I am not interested in what the 1 minute reported load average is, as 
it will be all over the place.
I am intertested in the 15 minute load average, after about an hour.
Example "top" from my computer, where the 15 minute load average for 3 
processes at 15 % each, 60 hertz sleep frequency used to be reported as about 
2. Now it is about 0.46, which is correct:

top - 08:16:15 up  7:42,  3 users,  load average: 0.14, 0.38, 0.46
Tasks: 134 total,   1 running, 133 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
