That's about what mine looks like as far as CPU usage goes. I'm
compiling X4 on my web/email server, which is a P133. The CPU is down to
20% idle.
What I want to know is how many user, processes etc... can you have on a
system like mine? What would happen if I put 1000 E-mail users on my
system?
I just want to see CPU % idle down around 50 or 40. That tells me I'm
really using the box and I'm not letting the CPU go to waste.
