vb.org Archive - View Single Post - what's an "average" server load?

Someone can probably correct me and explain better, but that's my rule of thumb.

thanks for this..i just checked, and mine says i'm on 4 cpu's, and my numbers are still around 3.75, so thats good, no?

talked to my host today about upgrading my account (need more bandwidth/space) and they didn't say anything about server loads, so i guess it's not a problem...
