Re: [SOLVED]Unusually High Load Average
hmmm I think that might have been the culprit? It's not showing up anymore in ps aux and my load averages are back down to where they should be, though I didnt do anything to change this...

Re: [SOLVED]Unusually High Load Average
I guess uptime was "confused" by the interim hibernation and the for some weird reason lingering around process.
Could have been a time update issue causing a miscalculation (but idk. the implementation details of uptime either)
