This is a relatively recent problem. I noticed this after upgrading to 2.6.31-gentoo-r6. Here's what w shows:

USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
tsuehpsy pts/0 14:25 0.00s 0.00s 0.00s w


And here's what top shows:

And /proc/loadavg reports the same:

As you can see, I do have stuff loading the processor, but for some reason, they no longer show? This was working just fine, but I generally check load to see how many users are on the system (game server). I have since upgraded to 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 and 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 to no avail. I have yet to revert to the older kernel to see if it fixes the problem as it doesn't effect performance, only reporting (that I can tell).

I am running 32-bit stable Gentoo. If you need any other information, ask away and I'll happily respond.

I don't think the load average takes into account nice-d processes.

It was in the past. Also, I set them to 0 and still no dice. :(
