(Get the code!)
Wakeups-from-idle per second : 184.6 interval: 10.0s
no ACPI power usage estimate available
Top causes for wakeups:
28.1% (206.7) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick
27.2% (200.2) [kernel core] add_timer (smi_timeout)
I just thought I'd say I don't think this is the root cause of the problem, contrary to what some folks on bugs and mailing lists have deduced thusfar -- I have two completely identical HP ProLiant BL460c G5 systems and one exhibits the problem, one does not. Running powertop on each shows an almost identical output (see above) however one has a load average of 0.92 doing pretty much nothing, whilst the other has a zero load average.
