I've been experiencing times of high load reported when the machine is otherwise idle. I've also been experiencing sudden spikes in load (40+) when the machine is doing minimal work (CPU 50% idle), few processes running.
My issues are also real problems (unresponsiveness, even in already open shells) and do not seem to be entirely due to just the way load is calculated...
Rod, in #67, your comment implies that the new kernel does indeed fix your real unresponsiveness issue.

Is anybody able to confirm whether or not the fix from 20100827 solves these problems? (http:// uec-images. ubuntu. com/releases/ lucid/release/).
