Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:49:38 -0400 From: "Timothy Normand Miller" <theosib@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Problem: Load average of 6, no I/O, 25% idle time. Why? I have a four processor box, running three compute loads. The kernel I'm running is 2.6.25-gentoo-r5. One process has four threads, and it's niced to 19. Another process has one thread and is niced to -10 The last process has one thread and is niced to 0 One processor is always idle. If I change either the 0 to a -10 or the -10 to a zero, then all four cores are properly utilized. Does this make sense to anyone? Besides messing with the nice levels, is there another way to fix this?
