Hi Vasiliy,
I think this may not be a PostgreSQL related problem, but a BIOS configuration
problem. Dell used to ship servers with the BIOS set for performance mode, i.e.
100% at all times, now they ship with more energy thrifty defaults. We had a
similar problem and by setting the BIOS to performance mode and rebooting, the
phantom load vanished.
Regards,
Ken
