Upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS, and I was surprised to see my load average at >= 2.00 for days.

`lsb_release -a |grep Desc`: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
`uname -a`: Linux 2.6.32-042stab057.1 x86_64
`dpkg -l rsyslog`: 5.8.6-1ubuntu8

I used the solution suggested in comment #49 above by sdeziel; after disabling that module, rsyslogd is no longer hoarding CPU time, and load average has dropped.

big question: after disabling 'imklog', is rsyslog now acquring *less* information than the Ubuntu 10.04 version? I'd like to know what I'm missing out on, if anything.
