-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think this is why its good to get to the bottom of where the problem is, genuinely happy that the problem has gone, just that its evident some people don't have the problem and some do. Some have been helped by setting affinity on servers (we do on a couple of larger ones). I guess personally I'm just a fan of if you pay for something (like ht) in a cpu, you should be able to make the best of it, and its worth getting to the bottom of either making the most of it, or fully understanding why you can't if others can. One thing that does seem to make a difference is kernel version (I think), certainly some older ones report cpu usage very differently, and wondering if the scheduler acts differently on it. No expert in that field, just something I've wondered as 2 linux servers we have we treat very differently to the others, so might be interesting for people to quote what linux dist and kernel version they run just to see if there's anything in that or not.
