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' PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ?
