So are my machines, I have been running 100 crashme's all day now and all
I have to show for it is an astronomical load average...

daily-planet  up     5:53,     1 user,   load 204.13, 158.61, 135.91

It seems to fluctuate between 100 and 200 every half hour or so.

The only reason the machine is only up 5:53 was so I could install a
kernel to handle a few thousand processes.

load averages: 104.44, 117.51, 123.60                                14:49:02
422 processes: 110 running, 311 sleeping, 1 stopped
Cpu states: 42.5% user,  0.0% nice, 52.9% system,  4.6% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Mem: 35M Active, 6628K Inact, 10M Wired, 1312K Cache, 8291K Buf, 7084K Free
Swap: 131M Total, 41M Used, 90M Free, 31% Inuse

"Snoooooore...."  I may die waiting for something interesting to happen.

The response on the machine is even pretty good with an almost 200 load
average.  I am impressed.  Solaris starts sucking long before 20.
