These increased load averages and slower load times are due to the NFS
problems that we've been working on recently. Also keep in mind that a
load average of around 5 is perfectly normal for servers running dual
CPUs with about 2GB of memory. The load average is just the average
number of processes in the run queue and has no direct correlation with
how fast a server will perform.
Write back if you need anything else.
Is this a load of crap?

Yeah that's pretty poor.
I prefer things to stay below 1.0.
Haha, now check our dual opteron servers
Opterons kick ass!
I've seen servers get as high as 20 before and the host was still trying to tell the guy that it was fine.
