** Description changed: I have BOINC running in the background, which uses the remaining (idle) CPU cycles. With 2.6.24-2, other processes now get max. 50% of the available CPU cycles! ~50% of the cycles still go to boinc, although it's running at niceness 19. Additionally, non-nice load does not change the cpu frequency (from 1.0 to 1.8ghz in my case), when the dynamic cpufreq governor is being used. I've tested normal cpu load with "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null", which is expected to max out, but does not so with 2.6.24-2. - This has been confirmed by somebody else with the same CPU (Athlon64 - 3000+). + This has been confirmed by somebody else with the same CPU (Athlon64 3000+), using the amd64 kernel. + I'm using the x86-generic kernel myself.
