Interesting, because my system always hovers around a load average of 
1.00, with 100% idle CPU. I was just blaming it on the amount of 
processes I had running, but maybe it's not this after all?

NetBSD 3.0.1, but was the same with 3.0.0

It's actually quite rare to see it < 1.00. It doesn't seem to really be 
causing any problems, but I am not running X. If it's worth looking in 
to then I can post any info needed?
