Fedora 7 load balancing

[hoser_9]

Hi Guys,
Is it me or is the Gnome System monitor whack? The CPU always seems to be used uneven. One CPU will be at 70% and the other at 3%, then they switch. I wonder if anyone has this problem?

Sounds normal for most things I do on my system. Granted one is using a multiple smp kernel but apps need to be written to make use of the smp coding.

I think I've similar problem.
Distro: F7 32bit

Problem:
$ top
Cpu0 : 0.7%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 93.4%id, 0.3%wa, 5.3%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%s
Cpu1 : 0.7%us, 0.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 5.9%id, 0.0%wa, 92.7%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%st

'hi' is always almost 100% of one core. Sometimes it switches to Cpu0. I don't know what's going on.
