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...."
