Thats what I thought but this same machine has handles twice the load at just 0.16 load average. Also, its running off 2 scsi disks which are mirrored. > Run vmstat 1 for a few minutes and post it here I have attached the output of vmstat. The load average of the machine was around 1 throughout. Please let me know if you want me to add a longer vmstat run.
