Hi Suresh
These a re load averages and I am not too familisr with them.
But I have run sustained compilations etc. where CPU usage, as shown by top
is beyond 99%, for several hours. Nothing happens...
Provide enough cooling and go ahead if you trust your hardware.....

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created
