[Bug 523319] Re: CPU runs at 85% constantly with no programs running

[Susan Cragin]

It's syslog that's hogging all the CPU. See the attached screenshot showing the "top" command. 
I checked out the other bugs and decided to upgrade from the linux-rt kernel to the generic kernel, thinking that might solve my problem. 
Sadly, that produced a massive slowdown of the system. I guess the kernel has to be in place before syslog is upgraded. Anyway, corruption followed and I had to re-install my system from scratch. 
I have (for the present) uninstalled the syslog program (and ubuntu-minimal). I'll probably try re-installing them after I get a kernel update.
