*yet another LOAD thread*

any way to find out what's causing a constantly high load on linux? no procs show up on top that are taking more than normal cpu time .. no swap is being used .. what else can I check? the load's been constantly 2+ for a few hours now when it's normally under 0.20

This is a dual xeon box with 1gb of ram - very low traffic sites (50gb/m for whole box) ... there's absolutely nothing in top showing up that could cause these loads such as mailma (qrunner) or log parsing ... nothing unusual, just a few httpd and mysql processes here and there (nothing suspicious in netstat either)

Any help? I'd just like to find out what could possibly be causing a load of 2 to 3.00 for 5 hours when the server is almost idle and normally during idle the loads are between 0.00 and 0.30
