This is an "idle" machine:

Load Avg:  1.19, 1.26, 1.16     CPU usage:  22.6% user, 77.4% sys, 0.0% idle

W.T.F? It's spinning the hard disk like crazy, yet I'm not doing anything.
The only way to get it out of this mess is to reboot. This hateful state
appears to be related to the spontaneous logout on screen unlock bug
(which I wasn't going to hate because it didn't kill my local screen session)

Maybe I need a RealOS that grasps the true meaning of "idle". Only it
wouldn't grok the power management as well. But not making the HD do
whirling dervish impressions would save far more than the the other
losses. And I'd get a decent dynamic linker for free.

Mmmmmm.
