Today i noticed something funny, the Bus-Master-Activity of CPU1 is
still extremely high when the Laptop is idle, but goes down to normal
Levels (like CPU0) when i use the Laptop.
I got home from work and found the CPU-Temp at 60C (being idle), after
using the Laptop for a while it dropped to 44C.
Man this is weird, when i compile the kernel with make -j3 the
Bus-Master-Activity of both Cores is very low and only then CPU1 drops
its temp below that of CPU0.
Is this whole thing looking like i have done something terribly wrong
somewhere, because i start to wonder?
