Well they are on the same cable.. Which I know is suboptimal for
performance reasons but it shouldn't have anything to do with my problem
of cpu usage. The cpu is pegged at 100% even when the system is totally
idle. And I'm pretty sure it started when I upgraded to 2.6. Everything
was fine running the 2.4 series...
