> [root at server ~]# uptime > 17:20:54 up 7 days, 3:26, 2 users, load average: 3.41, 2.93, 2.89 I think you need to investigate what is causing the load to be high. In my experience, software RAID causes some CPU load, but it should not be sustained unless you have something doing continuous disk IO.
