CPU usage on host
I'm on host16 and I have virtually no processes of my own running (except for top and sshd, of course). I did notice that it was running sluggishly for a while, but it seems ok as far as response time now.
I just got this Linode192 a few days ago, and what worries me is that I would ever have any sluggishness before I have even started running Apache, Mysql, mod_perl, etc.
I was under the impression that the whole IO limiter thing would severly reduce the impact of "swap thrashers" on the host, so what would be causing a lag with my virtually unused system?
In case it matters, I am running Gentoo with the 2.6.12.1-linode13 kernel. Thanks for any info anyone can give.
