Another reason could be a slow I/O (disk) and/or memory interface, which usual is the bottleneck nowadays ... what you could do/try: - get a recent kernel and patch rmap and maybe O(1) - use faster memory/disks (maybe striping, raid5) - add a second processor, SMP systems are much more resposive (smooth) with vservers > It would be great if we could balance the load thru other machines > (like we do with openmosix). I agree that this sounds interesting and it might be a viable solution to scale the vserver project beyond the physical limits of one MP machine ... I do not have any deeper knowledge of OpenMosix and no Farm where such a project could be tested/developed so if there is interest in doing this, we'll need both. best, Herbert > > Best, > +----------------------------------------- > | Luís Miguel Silva > | Network Administrator@ ISPGaya.pt > | Rua António Rodrigues da Rocha, 291/341 > | Sto.
