CPU usage

[Florin Andrei <florin@xxxxxxx>]

I've heard someone complaining about high CPU usage with XFS, especially
on low-clocked machines.
Someone told me that, on some PII at 266 and 400 MHz, running Linux on
XFS, CPU usage is 10-15% all the time, even when the machine is supposed
to be idle.
I find this hard to believe, since on a lowly Indy, at 180 MHz, CPU
usage is 0.00% when the machine is idle.
Any idea?...
