Is this normal?

edited February 2012 in General

Fresh install of Ubuntu 11 running apt-get update on 128mb LEB

Display : PID | User | Memory | CPU | Search | Run..

CPU load averages: 4.04 (1 mins) , 2.40 (5 mins) , 1.05 (15 mins)
CPU type: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz , 4 cores

Everything crawls. Can someone explain this? Is my provider limiting my CPU resources or what?

    I think this is normal :D Because with the information you provided, I got nothing else to say :(

  • Mon5t3rMon5t3r Member

    yes and no. :D just check your swap. perhaps that load avg. came from your disk (swapping).

    giang: Lol, are you being sarcastic or what?

    mon5st3r: well at default the swap was 128mb, i tweaked it to 768mb because everything was so slow. Now i'm confused, could bigger swap contribute to higher CPU load?

    No, I was saying it honestly :( Because even SSH access may cause high CPU load :D Did you post a picture in your post? :| Because I could see only:

    ss of 'top' and 'iotop' would help

    i think i know what's going on. It is webmin's miniserv.pl using up alot of memory.

  • NickMNickM Member

    I've got one server running webmin, it's using 15MB of RAM on my box, which isn't really that much RAM for a full control panel.

    Is this OpenVZ? Xen? KVM?

    Webmin I have found to be strange, on some distro's it has a tiny foot print on others every 15 minutes you end up with miniserv trying to do something that hammers your VPS every 5 minutes, I think its when you have quota management enabled or something, never bothered getting to the bottom of it.

    But then again at the same time (No offence) the issue with people looking for LEB's allot of the time is that they run OS's that were never intended to run on such a low amount of ram and then expect everything to be fine with zero optimization.

    Yep, It took me some time till I managed to install mysql in 64 MB ram, it needs a lot of tweaking, but eventually you can even run kloxo there.
