Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this behaviour before. The system load is quite low, but not abnormally low. This machine normally stays between 0.5 and 2 during the day. However, the CPU states are split between user and system, there is no idle at all. Here's an excerpt from top:
6:15pm up 105 days, 3:27, 4 users, load average: 0.62, 0.50, 0.57 185 processes: 180 sleeping, 2 running, 3 zombie, 0 stopped CPU0 states: 62.0% user, 37.0% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle CPU1 states: 54.0% user, 45.0% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle CPU2 states: 24.0% user, 75.0% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle CPU3 states: 50.0% user, 50.0% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle (It's not really a quad, it's a dual Xeon with hyperthreading.) Only a few days ago, this machine had about 80% idle on all four CPUs. There are no long running processes eating up CPU load, the highest load is about 1.5%, and the largest memory sucker is eating up at most 2.3% of total RAM. It's running apache and mysql, which are behaving normally for a machine serving a lot of traffic. So, I'm interested why the CPU isn't idling so much and the load isn't higher than it ought to be. Ideas and urls graciously accepted. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
