Hi,
I had a quick question about the load average calculation.
In the (cores * CPUs) calculation, is that cores per CPU or total cores
in the system? For example, if you have two quad-core processors, would
you want a load average = 16 (8 cores * 2 CPUs) or = 8 (4 cores * 2 CPUs)?

This is single server instance? As a comparison (on full 4/4 server), we
saw around 15% average usage for Q6600 2,4GHz machine and at peak around
24%, Q9550 2,83GHz only around 10

Keep in mind that load average is an expression of queue depth. Some types
of servers can handle deep queues with no visible impact shown to the end
user. Gameservers are not that kind of animal. They require constant,
nearly instantaneous updates in both directions in order to have truly
It depends on how many cores/CPUs you have. In the SMP world, you can run 4
processes at 4 cores at the same time without any problem. Your load average
is 4 or less, depending on how much load they consume.
Optimum:
load average = cores * CPUs
Overload:
load average cores * CPUs
So,

Sure, the load average is not perfect, but it is the best indicator you have
to detect an overloaded machine.
How about your 50-60 instance, how much load they produce?
While load average is a useful guideline, it does not necessarily
