I'm seeing this too on Ubuntu Maverick 32-bit (kernel 2.6.35-27-generic-pae) on an Intel Core Duo quad core 3 GHz processor. Around 50% "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" pretty much continously.

My apologies if this has already been explained somewhere, but exactly what is a "load balancing tick", and is it actually a problem to have a lot of them?
