[oe] 'swapper' process using 100% cpu when system idle

I'm using a console-image for angstrom-2008.1 / x86.

It all builds well and runs. However, both on my target hardware  
(Geode LX800) and under Qemu the 'swapper' process is running at 100%  
cpu when the system is doing nothing e.g. after booting).

'top' shows that the cpu is never idle.

Is this 'as expected', or should I be adding something to the build to  
enable the cpu to idle?
