--- Comment #46 from Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> ---
It is a long known problem of very idle systems.  To save the power kernel
tries to group different timer events together to reduce number of CPU wakeups
from idle state.  The problem is that load average accounting also based on
timer events, and if system is idle, each time it fires, there is often
something else to do, that is getting accounted into load average.
