Hello all,

My machine continuously is running with a load of 1.0 (was 1.9) while
idling.

I already brought it down by limiting the nscd threads and stopping all
daemons that aren't necessary, but is still stays at a minimum load of
1.0

This is not what it used to be.

I am running kernel 2.2.14

Does anyone know where to look for? Is there a way to see which
processes are causing the high load?

Included is a result of 'ps ax'
