Under Linux, why does the uptime command show 1 when BASP is active?
The reason is that the BASP process is periodically waking up to check for events whereas most other processes will be sleeping indefinitely until waken up by external events. Because we are constantly running and sleeping even when the system is idle, it is showing up in the load average. But the important thing is that the CPU utilization remains at almost 100% idle even when the load average is non-zero.
