If you run a few concurrent md5sums on a set of iso images for more than
15 minutes you'll have value of > 1 easily.  Yet that's know reason to
see a delay in keyboard responsiveness with any Processor delivered in
an Inspiron 1740.

this is the current load on an (Inspiron 1525n) while I happily type the
mail without any indication of increased latency while typing.

And be assured that you can start quite a few more process...

This is the load while I finished this mail:
top - 11:15:32 up 1 day, 22:48,  5 users,  load average: 4.77, 2.89,
1.55

still no latency noticable within evolution.

Cheers,
David

Now at:

1.88
and nothing...
