        powertop reports many wakes per second (quantity depending on system) in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" task, rising with little load, on many kinds of multi-core (?) systems (original report was on a Core 2 Duo processor (T6500) with a single core enabled (multicore disabled in BIOS)). Cause of the problem: With kernel 2.6.32, there came a patch to the scheduler that introduced this problem (that was backported to some other versions as well). Even though this problem occurred fi...


        There's also ibus-qt not working in Lucid... Just idiotic policy.
