Oh, forgot to say, that load was quite a bit too high.
It was aprox 6.0, but should have been 2.0 (or at absolute
maximum 3.0), as there were not so many running processes.
There was the g++ at nice 0, some process running at nice 19 and
tvtime at nice 0. All other processes were not taking much CPU
and sleeping most of the time. (X and KDE was running, but
I don't think they can cause this load.)
