Load average problem

[choiz]

Hi all,

When i've got 25 shoutcast server on my server my load average increase.

I don't know why i've got this problem.

I'm on Debian Lenny.

as far as I know, this is normal.

The load shouldn't be that high, but I suppose it depends on your processor.

I have 62 instances of sc_serv (maybe not all streaming currently) running on an 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) 3065 @ 2.33GHz' with 2GB RAM:

top - 17:05:24 up 429 days, 6:58, 2 users, load average: 0.24, 0.62, 1.12

Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st


It seems quite happy
