Here's a sample 'top' from one of my machines (also 8-way): top - 18:12:58 up 12 days, 23:22, 6 users, load average: 2.95, 3.02, 3.53 Tasks: 177 total, 1 running, 175 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu0 : 45.1%us, 13.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 41.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 19.0%us, 13.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 67.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu2 : 23.9%us, 12.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 63.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu3 : 32.1%us, 11.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 56.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu4 : 38.0%us, 9.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 52.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu5 : 98.4%us, 1.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu6 : 73.9%us, 16.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 9.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu7 : 36.7%us, 13.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 49.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 5195036k total, 4960136k used, 234900k free, 8k buffers Swap: 4200956k total, 244k used, 4200712k free, 3469996k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4575 mysql 16 0 1152m 1.0g 4792 S 249 21.0 18269:15 mysqld 16720 root 25 0 0 0 0 Z 5 0.0 0:00.15 make <defunct> /Per Jessen, Zürich -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
