The E6500 had 14 CPU's and 16GB of RAM at the time, and was serving an ab load (apache bench) of 256 concurrent requests to a Koha integrated library system backend, over a total of 2.5 million requests.
But isn't load simply added by the number of processors?
EG: A load average of "1.00" on a 4-way system actually indicates 25% usage? 250/14 could indicate an effective load average of 17, which is still high, but still - how much of that load was due to I/O?
