How can this 'top' command output make sense? Load over 7 and
total CPU use ~5%

This guy advises buying an old G4 Mac laptop to use as a netbook:

While Apple might be planning to stop supporting PowerPC, one could run
FreeBSD on it.
Mac-Pro has good prices on used Mac laptops. A G4 PowerBook is $500 to
$650 depending on what kind of burner is installed.

I was just now looking into ARM netbooks. I think there's only one
actual shipping model so far, but ARM shows great promise because ARM
CPUs use very little power. I expect there will be lots of them by the
end of the year.
Is there a FreeBSD ARM port? There's not one for 7.2.
