Load on a unix machine is more or less a count of how many processes are waiting for IO, so you will see high numbers when doing lot's of IO. This way you can go loads many multiples of 100%. On a multicore machine, N x 100% is normal as a CPU maximum. My laptop has 4 cores and can show 400% load when doing something highly parallel.
I didn't know that. My CPU has 4 cores too, but the vm only two. I guess the database sockets increase this IO count and causes such high cpu use. What is the way to measure the "real" cpu use of the pharo-vm?
It is good that the load came back down to normal ;-)
I wish idle was 0%, but 5% is totally acceptable given how stable it is. Thank you Sven. Esteban A. Maringolo
