Top's doing crazy things on my machine too after booting 2.6.27-rc1 - like Xorg
showing 859% CPU usage on 4 CPU machine and generally any process running even
shortly shows up as using anywhere between 100 and 150% CPU.

This is on x86 - Q6600 6Gb RAM. Let me know if anything else would be
interesting to know.
