Ubuntu 12.04 server, amd64, Xenon E5520 (4-core, 16 cores with HT)
Description
On this unloaded system, a very basic traffic server instance is using 180% CPU, with 3 threads ET_TASK 0, ET_TASK 1, and LOGGING taking up about 60% each.

stracing the ET_TASK threads showed a repeating set of calls to futex:
futex(0x946ca4, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 255405471,
, ffffffff) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
futex(0x946ce0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
I installed the symbols and interrupted the process with GDB... The ET_TASK functions were generally looked like this:

This is a problem for the servers as [a] it keeps us from running in lower power states and [b] makes sysadmins think the servers are under load when they aren't.
I am happy to help find out more information and do more debugging.
