Thanks - I will do some reading. > Also, I'm not clear as to what problem you're tyring to solve. High load > on a busy server certainly isn't a problem, so where is the problem? The problem that sometimes, though for a very short period of time, the load goes above 14. I should have asked this first. Is this OK? I was probably unnecessarily concerned that the load gets too high. Of course, were it to happen for a prolonged time, I would take steps to improving hardware but as the load peaks are periodic and fairly short I thought I would make it easier for the machine to live :) Judging from your answer I can see I shouldn't worry all that much.
