Are CPU frequency and count the only things the load balance algorithm

It also considers number of sessions running/idle...
  That concerns me a bit especially since with recent processors,
increasing speed no longer necessarily means increasing performance.  Can
the LB algorithm be manually tweaked if necessary?
I don't think it can be configurable other than completely disabling load balancing.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Failover group load balancing on servers with
lots of cores

Is it on Linux?.
If so you might be hitting 6747147. Make sure to have the latest SRSS
4.1 Patch .
It's fixed in 4.1_patch-03 or later.

[6747147 Group Manager LB algorithm  reads insufficient data from
/proc/cpuinfo]

Hi all,

We're running a SRSS 4.1 failover group consisting of 3 servers with 2-4
cores
each. Last weekend we expanded the failover group with two new 12 core
servers
(HP Proliant DL385g6). This morning we noticed that the new servers
aren't
getting assigned any new sessions by the loadbalancing algorithm. Using
wireshark on the sunray interface i'm seeing that the packages
multicasted to
224.101.101.101 port 7009 contain the following string:

cpus=4 clock=1800 (on one of the 4-core, 1.8GHz servers)

and

cpus=0 clock=0 (on the 12-core, 2.6GHz  servers)

Which doesn't seem right.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?
