@John Johansen,

The new test kernel seems to have fixed the phantom load average bug for me. Here's two instances of my web server sitting idle:

#1) Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit AMI with default kernel:
up 1:22, 1 user, load average: 1.03, 1.02, 0.93

#2) Same AMI with new test kernel (aki-84b75ded):
up 18 min, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.03, 0.08

Does this mean that it's safe to ignore the high load averages I'm seeing on the default kernel for now until a new kernel is released?
