[Ganglia-general] high load with gmetad

[markp]

Is anyone experiencing a high load with gmetad?  I've run this daemon on
a high end intel 933mhz dual proc machine with 1gb of memory and RH
7.2.   Loads get and stay as high as 3.  I get worse results on single
processor machines, loads as high as 6.7  Kill the daemon and it drops
back to normal.  Is it supposed to be such a resource hog?  I ran the
old web-frontend and didn't have any problems.
