I had 2.0.30-dev up briefly on daedalus tonight to collect doc on our load spike problem. Brian B, my apologies if you got paged.
Anyway, there's about 20 seconds worth of ktrace output at http://www.apache.org/~gregames/ktrace. We might have some kind of thundering herd problem - I see a whole bunch of unproductive context switches about the time a select pops. Then I tried 2.0.29-dev from Nov. 15, with Ryan's patch to fix the timeouts on top of that. That's got the load spikes as well, and that's not very long after we tagged 2_0_28. Greg
