If you press the digit 1, top will break out your processor usage for Each of your processors. You will then see that you have about 9% utilization of each processor. Not something I'd worry about on a 4 processor box. Its a web server. Lots of things to do. Load average says that on average when it looks around for things that need work there are 65 tasks waiting. Some of your tasks show surprisingly high CPU percentage, and very long run times (seconds column). That is fairly unusual for http tasks which tend to be spawned as needed and shut down when no longer needed. Yours seem to run forever. These are all web server tasks, so you have only that one place to look to find the inefficiencies or run-aways. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
