 I got sunclock to run yesterday ( The imake worked  right out of the box.  
 Did not have to tweak a thing. :-)  ). 

 When sunclock is running xload shows the load going from 1/2 to just 
 over 2.  Thats a 'load' increase of over 400%.  The cpu usage from ps 
 shows only 12/sec per hour though.  (stephsf has 9Mb of memory)

 What does xload measure anyway ???
