Hi,

my newly installed i386/SMP 6-CURRENT system (2xPiii,if_xl)
shows somehow higher idle load.
I noticed this by occasionally typing `w`. for example:

 5:01PM  up 37 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.55, 0.67, 0.64
 9:43PM  up    5:19, 1 user, load averages: 0.46, 0.58, 0.62

apart from the open ssh session in my xterm and 4 times `w` the
machine didn't have anything todo in that time.

HEAD GENERIC kernel + crypto, iic/smbus, i4b.

Apart from that I have found a
	witness_get: witness exhausted
right after boot in dmesg.

more info available on demand in 7-9 hours. g'night.
