max cpu usage ?

in my linode control panel, there is a status :

> Your Linode has averaged

52%

of one Host CPU for this month

it's to high or not ?

Out of sheer curiosity, what do you do?

That seems high. My curve and surface fitting web site, http://zunzun.com , shows an average 26% of one host CPU so far.

Have you used top or htop to see what is using the CPU so much?

my linode 360 host only one website (id-joomla.com) which is joomla+fireboard based

when i checked with top, some php-cgi5 process takes lot of CPU process

using google analytics to track my visitors, and for 30 days i got 67,543 Visits and 448,118 Pageviews

it's too much or not for linode 360 ?

i'm installed only opensuse+lighttpd+mysql+php+postfix in my linode. for email, i used google apps

Might be Joomla to blame.

Mine (a Linode 540) gets around 5x the page views on a Drupal site according to Google Analytics, and it uses around 14% of one host CPU…

Let me calculate a crude estimate.

450,000 views / 30 days = 15,000 views per day

15,000 views / 24 hours = 625 views per hour

625 views / 60 minutes = about 10 views per minute

This is very rough, but 10 views per minute should not overload a 360 in my opinion.

One thing you might considers is using a cache, rather than recalculating every page each time a request is received. That might help.

ok, try to activated cache…

after watching htop for several minuters, mysqld was consumed cpu process more than php-cgi. after mysql server restarted, cpu load become normal again.
