This is quite interesting. After rebuilding my kernel for SMP support, I 
noticed the load average went up slightly.
Is that normal?

Right now, the system is being tested as a mail gateway server, running 
sendmail, mailscanner, SpamAssassin and clamav.

Before I did the recompile, my load average was low, almost zero. It is 
showing a load average of around 0.02 now...Not much, but interesting.

Any ideas?

Jason
