Comment 29 for bug 30570

On a Core Duo T2300 (1.6GHz), kernel -686 does not sem to have this problem. When idel, top reports tipically
Cpu(s): 2.3% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 97.2% id, 0.0% wa, 0.2% hi, 0.0% si

This seems to be the average between the 2 CPUs. System monitor shows both CPU1 and CPU2 around 2.0%.

Both processors throttled down to 996 MHz. /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power shows both CPUs spend most time in C2.

Seems fine.
