hald/haldaemon cpu usage

[Konstantin Svist]

I've found that HAL is responsible for reporting battery events to 
kpowersave - which means the CPU problem might be caused by my dead 
battery (it died a short while ago)

Another problem I've noticed is that changing the brightness level of 
the screen, while in X and haldaemon is running, causes computer to 
freeze for a second or two. It has never done that before.


Anyone else experience something like this?
