Re: [Xen-users] Load Average 1.00 at idle

["Michael J. Baysek" <mjbaysek@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Do the http://people.redhat.com/riel/ packages fix the load average 
problem? 

Also do they introduce any other problems?  When I updated to the 1447 
RPMs my domU I had running mailman stopped delivering mail in a timely 
way, and I had to move it back to user-mode-linux to get it running again.
