I would _guess_ that 4.11 computes the load differently/incorrectly... So its load would be 4*.5 -- 4*1.25 == 2 -- 5 I feel, the load value cannot tell much about performance (as far as I understood it, the load values just tells u how many processes (or threads? or how they call it today...) want to run at the same time averagely over 1, 5 and 15 minutes or so...). Can u tell us the response time (from start of connection to first byte received) and bandwidth (byte count divided by connection duration) for an average connection? -Arne ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
