My spiffy new MacPPC machine consistently has a load average > .40. It
looks like it hovers around .5.
This would be fine if it were doing something, but it's not. It has this
load average as a minimum. It's like someone dropped a .5 into the
calculation as a base.
I'm pretty sure it's not some background process chowing down on resources.
I've been pretty thorough with ps, accounting and top. THere's nothing
there. It looks like a miscalculation of the number.
Has anyone seen this? The machine is running normally. Stable, quick,
functional. (This is a NetBSD 1.5 box running on a PowerCenter 132
with a Sonnett 300 Mhz G3 in it. Kernel stock except for
Cyclades serial driver mods, backside cache enabled, and mod to fix
PPP delays in extintr.c)
