Huh???  My load has been stuck at 27-ish for an hour now even
after I killed all the CPU and mem hogs, and I'm stumped...
How can idle be around 90% and load avg be 27?  System feels
a bit sluggish, but not load 27 sluggish!  Quad core system.
(And yes, "daily" is supposed to be high CPU, but it's niced
out the wazoo.)
