Good CPU?

Can anyone please tell me if this is good for CPU usage? I've been trying to find a site that explains what each of the numbers means, but I can't find a decent site Unsure

2.44, 2.11, 2.06

Bear in mind this is doing a complete DMOZ import to Links SQL, and hosting 2 other sites...

BTW: I know the memory is low...I'm getting an upgrade on that soon....

Cheers

Guess you didn't look very hard....

Any load numbers in the 2 or 3 range is an indication of excessive CPU use and consequently poor performance.

FYI my stats are:

1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

That is with around 30 vhosts and several non-standard apps running such as port monitoring and anti-virus etc.

Mmm...ok, that prooves my point. Its going to be the DMOZ dump that is slowing down my server...but is there a way to limit how much processing power it can use? My friend mentioned something about NICE (Webmin uses this in their control panel for cron), which he says limits the process to so much percentage of the CPU.

I'll have a scan over google to see if I can find anything, but things like this, which don't get searched for much tend to be quite hard to find Frown

Cheers?

Ok, thats cool...so all I need to do is something like;

/usr/bin/nice -50 perl /path/to/import/script.cgi

And that will give 50% NICE :) I'm going to try that now...
