I mentioned before that it > looked like you were running two different versions of apache. We did, and there was no difference. To follow-up, the server is in production and is behaving well. The load ranges from 0.08 to 3, and does not have any responsiveness issues. One theory that was suggested to us was that 'top' itself was the culprit. That is, there were events happening precisely at the same time that top doing its sampling for data, giving a higher load calculation. Since the CPU utilization was very low and no other benchmarks were problematic, it seems like a good assessment. -- Omar Thameen Systems Administration The Internet Channel omar@inch.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
