Re: Load 0.20 on a freshly installed idle system
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2023 00:28:04 UTC
Thanks Paul, but If that was the case, then running 5 `top -SH` with a
refresh of 1 second, should increase the load to x4. Which is not what I
see.
This answer seems a bit vague. Is that the best explanation we have? Do you
mean to say that there is not a single freebsd box out there that has a
load of less than 0.20?
I'm pretty sure that last time I run FreeBSD that wasn't the case. Also
haven't seen this load in idle system in any other *BSDs.
Thanks for taking a look anyway.
