[cod] Load avarage

[Oliver Warburton]

Cpu(s): 25.0%us, is what I believe would be causing the "high load".

Do remember though, load is relative.

Back in the day when we were running web hosting on P4's, 1.0 was heavy usage. 2.0 and the server started to crawl. You've got a pretty beefy setup there.

It's all relative to the CPU, cores and cache.

  Hehe, do you really think that it is really not charged the machine?
  I am just worried for the 

load average: 3.26, 2.94, 2.76or it is not so much?

  On what depends these parameters? How much it is still normal and passable that it won't create any lag on servers?

  I am so happy I found these mailing list, you helped me so much. When anybody came here in SLovenia - Koper, near the sea we can have a drink and also I will show you here some good clubs with nice girls :)

Hello,

I recently bought a new machine for my game services. The machine looks
like these:


2U System with 6x HotSwap bays, 510W EPS Powersupply, Lowprofile
Intel Xeon L5420, 4 Core at 2,50 Ghz, 2x 6MB L2 Cache, FSB1333
Tyan Tempest i5100W Mainboard, S5376, 2x GB Lan, VGA
12 GB DDR2 PC667 DDR2-Ram registered ECC, Kingston
Western Digital 500GB SATA2 HDD RE3 24/7, 16MB Cache, 7200RPM

I am running on it about 250 game server slots. The load looks like
that:

top - 20:58:44 up  6:40,  1 user,  load average: 3.26, 2.94, 2.76
Tasks: 191 total,   1 running, 190 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 25.0%us,  3.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 70.7%id,  0.2%wa,  0.1%hi,  0.4%si,
0.0%st
Mem:  12411140k total,  6100728k used,  6310412k free,   103408k
buffers
Swap:  1951856k total,        0k used,  1951856k free,  3010076k cached


You think is these overloaded machine? I am pretty worried about load
average witch is about 3.0. Is these to much?
