In 4.x, it was a 'shut it off' sort of deal .. my new amd64 don't appear 
to have it enabled, but my older i386 server that I just upgraded to 6.x 
does:

user     pid %cpu %mem   vsz   rss   tt state start        time command
root      14 104.0  0.0     0     8  ??  RL    11:38AM   0:55.02 [idle: cpu0]
root      11 99.1  0.0     0     8  ??  RL    11:38AM   0:00.00 [idle: cpu3]
root      13 99.1  0.0     0     8  ??  RL    11:38AM   0:00.00 [idle: cpu1]
root      12 98.0  0.0     0     8  ??  RL    11:38AM   0:54.54 [idle: cpu2]

Is it still something that I should disable, and, if so, how in 6.x?

Thx
