I&#39;m running 1.0.6 and I noticed that right after upgrading from 15135 that the load (15 min avg) on my system seems to have increased about double running the same amount of traffic. I&#39;ve been running top all day for the past few days and I noticed that for the most part I always have 75% idle cpu, but maybe once ever 45 minutes or an hour there is an spike the 1 minute load averages (maybe up to 9). This is only a dual core processor so I believe 9 usually indicates that are some processes that are waiting. The idle % does not change, and I have free memory, but for whatever reason the linux load algorithm spikes (maybe very high for like 1-5 seconds).<div>
<br></div><div>At first I thought this might be related to a tickless timer, so I disable it from the kernel, but today I am still getting the same spikes. So my question is, are these spikes something to worry about, or should I just monitor the % of idle cpu available on my box for guesstimating how much further I can push this system? Thanks.</div>
