As a nice bonus, CPU load is way down. With SDK 2.2, each miner consumed 100% CPU, but now it is barely noticeable.
Yeah I noticed that as well. Perhaps the two are related.

Hopefully these issues will be fixed in SDK 2.4, which shouldn't be too far out if they keep the same release pace. I know these issues (multi-gpu on linux and high CPU use) have been brought up at the AMD forums, so let's hope they got it fixed and we don't have to wait for SDK 2.5.
