Hi, I have a ThinkPad (Core i7, 2.67GHz) with F17 and I'm seeing high system loads persistently. Right from boot up I see loads of 1, and often it goes up to 2 or more. Things I have looked at: 1. I'm using Xfce, so the desktop environment is also light. 2. I looked at the output of `systemctl list-units' and don't see any unnecessary services enabled. 3. top only says currently Xorg is the most active process with 1% CPU activity. From the activity summary of atop since boot, I see it's Xorg with 3% CPU usage. And while idling all my 4 logical cores are throttled down and are at about 1%. So my question is since CPU usage is already so low, what could be driving up the system load? This is bugging me since I also see a general sluggishness compared to a much faster system early this year. Thanks for any ideas. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
