Moreri has been doing this super-high-load thing for a while. Having nothing to lose, I've upgraded it to 2.6.
Before: up 18 days, 23:42, 1 user, load average: 48.34, 74.74, 100.16
After: up 25 min, 2 users, load average: 1.08, 1.36, 0.86
:)
It's running 2.6.6-1.376smp, from rawhide packages. I don't forsee any real problems, so will probably upgrade the rest of the web boxes like we have the others soon.
