: :So this is why pmake drives our system load average up to 8-10 before :dropping back down to the assigned limit of 5, huh? Maybe we should :fix the load average computations as John suggested. : :Wes Peters Softweyr LLC :http://www.softweyr.com/~softweyr wes@softweyr.com There's nothing wrong with the load average computation, it's a 1, 5, and 15 minute pseudo-average just as advertised. What's wrong are the programs that try to use it to regulate themselves. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
