Can you tell me why you need the CPU usage lower? What makes it a good thing that your server is doing absolutely nothing most of the time? Since it's not running at 100% all the time, there is no problem here. In fact, I would argue this is a good thing, since you know your machine is making good use of its time. This is not a problem for your server--you shouldn't be concerned until you have around 90% usage all the time, even when the machine doesn't seem to be doing anything. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
