Increased CPU usage in linux 2.6.21

I don't think this is a Gkrellm issue, but I figure I'll ask here
anyway: I was using gkrellm2 on linux 2.6.19 for a while. I found that
when the system was idle, my cpu usage would show as 0.

How after upgrading to 2.6.21, I find my CPU usage oscillates anywhere
between 1 and 3 percent when my system is idle. I made sure that I'm
running the same version of all other packages, so the only change in my
system is the linux kernel itself.

Anyone else see this behaviour? Any idea why? I posted to the linux
kernel list, but I think my message got lost in the flood of the 300 odd
messages that get posted there every day. If someone else can reproduce
this behaviour, and has reason to believe this is a bug, I'll report it
as a bug.

Thanks,

GI
