Hello,

I have a RH5 machine where load is quiet inequally distributed, as
reported by sar:

           CPU   %user   %nice  %system  %iowait   %steal   %idle
Average:       all    3.26    0.00    1.80    0.02    0.00   94.92
Average:        0   20.73    0.00   10.78    0.05    0.00   68.44
Average:        1    0.68    0.00    0.53    0.00    0.00   98.78
Average:        2    1.07    0.00    0.65    0.00    0.00   98.28
Average:        3    0.73    0.00    0.48    0.01    0.00   98.78
Average:        4    0.62    0.00    0.49    0.05    0.00   98.84
Average:        5    0.70    0.00    0.50    0.04    0.00   98.77
Average:        6    0.69    0.00    0.44    0.00    0.00   98.87
Average:        7    0.75    0.00    0.48    0.00    0.00   98.76

The machine runs apache (prefork-mpm) which serves php pages from an
NFS mount.

As the machine is not very loaded, it's not really a problem. But I'm
wondering what will happen when load rises.

Should I worry about weirdness ? Is it possible to alter the way the
scheduler work ?

Thanks !

Marc
