I built 2.6.39+ Sunday from Linus' tree.  System seems slower than before
and the rcu kernel threads seem to run a lot:

dave@mx3210:~$ ps -ef|grep rcu
root         7     2 46 May22 ?        21:14:59 [rcuc0]
root         8     2  0 May22 ?        00:00:00 [rcun0]
root         9     2  0 May22 ?        00:00:03 [rcun1]
root        37     2 19 May22 ?        08:55:59 [rcuc1]
root        41     2 10 May22 ?        04:50:25 [rcuc2]
root        45     2 11 May22 ?        05:10:35 [rcuc3]

Any ideas?

Dave

The worst of the load problems are fixed by commit
07ef3c3b44896bc0432a901fe6ae0d0deaca47ce
Load average has now dropped by about a factor two.

However, the rcuc* threads are still major time consumers.  After
about three hours of runtime building gcc:

    7 root      -2  19     0    0    0 S    8  0.0  80:50.10 rcuc0              
   37 root      -2  19     0    0    0 S    2  0.0  37:44.47 rcuc1              
   41 root      -2  19     0    0    0 S    0  0.0  26:39.63 rcuc2              
   45 root      -2  19     0    0    0 S    0  0.0  28:12.77 rcuc3
