Hi doug,

I am not using Ubuntu 12.04 but Arch Linux. Load average is significantly down.

[donnie@arch ~]$ uptime
 09:37:29 up 6:44, 1 user, load average: 0.20, 0.16, 0.13

[donnie@arch ~]$ uname -a
Linux arch 3.5.0-rc7-mainline #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 15 07:24:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

BUT temperature and power usage is still horrible for any 3.4 series onward kernel to be usable. My idle temperature is at least 10 degrees higher than what I get on 3.3 series. Power usage jumps between to 15-20W compared to 3.3's less than 10W.
