Hi, AFAIK: The load average is the number of tasks in your CPU's input queue. Since you have more than 1 CPU, the system tries to break each job it has to as many task it can, so each will be processed in a different CPU. Meaning: you should have a hieghier load average. I think the results are

1. The load average is 1,5,15 minutes. 2. You're right. the memory is almost all used. I think a restart for the services (Apache+MySQL), might do some good at freeing some memory. 3. Swapping can also explain about busy I/O are slow response to disk commands (like ls and friends). I think this
