CPU Usage After Migration
My only assumption as for the CPU usage might be related to how Linode measures it, and perhaps there's more cores in the new host machine and that factors in? But I don't see how that affects the disk IO, though. Maybe it's just all measured differently on a Xen server?
Here's a snapshot of the graphs:

That spike in network traffic is just from where I did a backup before the migration.
So yeah, I'd appreciate any insight anyone can offer on this. Maybe it's nothing, but I'm curious enough to find out nonetheless!~~

> After checking your charts, everything looks normal. You are actually utilizing very minimal CPU resources and the anomalies you are seeing are caused by the small scale on the graph. Out of a possible 400% of CPU, you are making use of no more than 0.53% of the available resources.
I'm also guessing the difference in scale is due to a switch from UML to Xen, which is what my Linode went through.
Just for reference, here are my charts:

edit: Umm.. now I see that our Disk IOs do look very different though. Seems like we got migrated right about the same time. Were you in Dallas 5?~~
Like the support ticket said you're graphs are using small increments on a big graph so it looks worse than it is
I dunno about CPU, but it doesn't surprise me that usage is a little different after making such a big change.
