So, it is not LCDd's core that is causing the interrupts and the high load.
Thus it has to be either LCDproc's imon driver or the lirc_sasem module.

Hmm, i don't have the hardware myself, maybe some folks here on the list
who use the imon driver can post their experience regarding to load and
interrupts?!

Lucian, John, you sent in code for the imon driver. Did you suffer
from the behaviour described  in the original post?

Rami, it might also be hat the lirc_sasem thing is the culprit.
Did you try to contact it's author ?

Hope it helps
Peter
