I upgraded my very pathetic, very old test computer.

doug@test-smy:~/linux-3.2.0/kernel$ uname -a
Linux test-smy 3.2.0-16-generic-pae #25-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 04:00:45 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It has the Low Load Averages issue.
I am unable to test my proposed fix because I can not compile the kernel on this computer (It takes 33 hours 4 minutes and 56.7 seconds before it gives up with an out of memory error (did I mention it is a patethic old thing)).

I prefer to leave my newer test computer at 11.10, at least for now.

I did look at the source code for 3.2.0-16.25 and the related area of kernel/sched.c looks the same (I did not do a diff).
