Is anyone else using 2.4.2 patched with loop-6? Does load goto about 1
and stay there even though mounting things via loop seem to work fine?

Yes, and with 2 mounts the load avg goes ~2; after umounting, it goes back
to normal levels.

You can observe with ps that each thread for each mounted loop device
increases the load by 1; here's the output from "ps ax | fgrep loop" on my
Dell Inspiron 5000e:
13 ? DW< 0:28 [loop1]
115 ? DW< 0:57 [loop0]
116 ? DW< 0:58 [loop2]
2816 pts/4 S 0:00 fgrep loop
Since I have 3 image files mounted, that means my Inspiron 5000e has a load
of 3 when it's idle... ;)
