Not that it's a good thing, but a runaway process (ahem, my stupidity with cron) managed to get me to a load average of over 1000.
 
In hindsight, it's kinda funny.
 
But then, it does speak to the issue of reliability...  It ran like that for several hours before I figured out why things seemed a bit slow...
 
For comparison, that would be a Windows box running at 10000% utilization for several hours straight, and then being fixed by a killall (which took about 10 minuites to run).
 
Anyways, we're back where we belong now...  less than .1 and fast approaching 0.00
 
I need a holiday...
 
Kev.
