kapm-idled is a kernel daemon that is used to measure how free your CPU is
(or something like that). Basically, it is _not_ taking up this CPU time --
it merely looks like it in apps like top and gkrellm. In other words, you can
safely ignore it. Newer versions of the system monitors will be modified so
that they don't even show kapm-idled.

Every now and then gkrellm reports that my CPU is totally pegged for some

Guessing from the second word of that, I'd say it's a daemon that's
preventing kapm from running while the machine is in use. So, two
observations: 1) I don't know what kapm is. Is it related to APM? 2) If I'm
guessing write about the purpose of idled, it doesn't seem to be
working...
Any input would be interesting! Thanks!
