Default Server Load...

The dreaded question of Server Load

Today I looked and my server load was:

Quote:
0.00 0.02 0.00


What is your server load normally?

When I was on my hosting account, the server load was never below 1 IIRC

Um, my server load when ? Right now? or an average?

My server load bounces around throughout the day from 0.07 to 1.86 or so, so i can't say

Those numbers are meaningless as that is the wrong question to ask. You cannot compare just server loads, without knowing how many users are online, how much RAM you have, how many CPUs your server has, how you have configured MySQL, Apache and PHP etc. etc.

Sure you can

It is similar to driving - If people ask how many miles you can do to a Tank, they don't ask for the litreage of the car, the capacity of the tank, whether it is town or country driving, the bredth of your tires, how much tread (sp?) they have

Okay, if I post that my server loads are 0.02 0.05 0.06 - what does that tell you?

Nothing.



If I tell you that it is 0.02 0.05 0.06 at off-peak times with 200 users online on a Dual Xeon 2 GB RAM dedicated server that tells you a bit more. If I then tell you that at peak with 500 users online on the same machine my server loads are 1.01 1.14 1.04 then it tells you a bit more about the range my box can take.

But it still doesn't say much. Because if I tell you it's vB3, it's more info. If I then tell you that if I switch on Similar Threads, my server loads go up to 4.01 4.23 5.67 then that's more information again.

You see, you cannot compare server loads - it's like comparing the speed of your car at the moment - tells you nothing - your car could be parked, you could be on a freeway, you could be in the city, or driving in the countryside, your car could be a turbo or a sedan etc - the speed at any given time of a car tells you nothing about the car or what your car is doing. Same thing with server loads.

True, yet still a question worth asking

Perhaps you could change the poll to "What is your average server load"
