It's been done to death loads of times.
The overall result is don't worry about it, it's an idle task which soaks up
unused cycles for accounting purposes. It's not really using ANY of your
processor cycles.
Look at the output from 'top' in a console. Check out the CPU utilisation
figures at the top of the display. See?

Subject: RE: [newbie] kapm-idled?
The characteristic as seen on my 8.1b3 machine - 850Mhz Duron with
512MB -
is that if nothing else is happening I see a background usage of
about 45%
utilitzation if I am eyeballing the little usage display accurately.
However, as soon as I move the mouse or do any real work and stop,
the CPU
usage is flat for a bit then kapm-idle kicks in.
I was going to ask the same question my self if I couldn't find an
answer in
the archives.
Cheers,
-rick
