post your linux load average!

[thewolf]

Hi,

What's a good load average for a Linux server running Plesk?

Here is mine right now:

# uptime
05:07:22 up 3 days, 4:12, 3 users, load average: 0.14, 0.49, 0.68

Now it's pretty low, but sometimes it gets very high, around 20.

What's a reasonable level before planning a migration to a faster server?

Thanks.

Mine is low right at the moment as well

03:52:45 up 3 days, 18:19, 5 users, load average: 0.19, 0.05, 0.01

My philosophy is: as soon as I put a new box into production, I start looking for the next higher level immediately. And never short change your own server hardware, larger L2 caches are good, HT is good, etc....
