Neo - high load average after 1 -2 days on?

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Ok, I'm having that trouble again.
It took over ten minutes to login via ssh!

root at om-gta01:~# uptime
Unknown HZ value! (94) Assume 100.
 12:04:06 up 22:08,  1 user,  load average: 9.17, 9.57, 10.09

I don't know what that "unknown HZ value" message means. Perhaps this
is a suspend issue?

It doesn't seem to be any trouble with free space on disks:
root at om-gta01:~# df -h

vmstat output:

Hmm, don't know what to think.
