hi there,
it seems that since a couple of snapshots back,
load never goes below 1.00 anymore on both of my
notebooks (i386 MP). what prompted me to write
this email is that now my old thinkpad is affected
as well.
looking at top right after boot shows that load was "normal"
load averages: 1.14, 0.85, 0.43
but current load constantly being over 1.00,
the averages eventually rise as well.
anybody else is seeing this?
Hi! I'm going to guess (guess!) this is normal. Others, feel free to
tell me I'm wrong and go from there.
Try to avoid the snake-pit of discussing what load average actually
means or why it is normal to be around 1.00 load in OpenBSD under many
circumstances when the system is more or less idle. This topic has been
beaten into the ground several times:
