good to know that the diburim forums works on a raq :-)
if I'm already writing to you, here's a suggestion:
have people be able to move between threads in the body of the message.

to your question....
well uhm... obviously the kernel has lots of stuff to load...
as root, try: 

tail -f /var/log/messages

and see why it works so hard...

if he doesn't (and consumes 100% CPU), then i'll be worried :)
