Load average is high on birch, 8.
I don't know what this means but I thought it was was supposed to be around 1.
Or is 1 times the number of processors?
 
 
cvs, by me and hudson, often visible taking a lot, judging by top.
 
Tinderbox...is causing too much heat in my apartment. After a few green runs I'll have to see about powering the machines on once a week or something for one run and then power back off.
 
 
Maybe leave just one running daily or in a loop, like LINUXLIB6.
 
 
Later maybe move all x86/amd64 machines to virtual machines and inherit power management of host or scheduled power off/on.
