i haven't been following the thread... but terra has a toshiba satellite
laptop with ubuntu, and it's always got a load average that's >2-3.
it runs fine, but reports a high load average, even when top says it's
idle.
some day i might dig deeper... but it really doesn't seem like the system
is adversely affected.
