[cobalt-users] Usage questions (TOP) (Raq4)

Here's the details.
I've got a RaQ4i with 256MB of RAM.
Normally the load is barely registering (see bottom of post) - about 0.04,
0.11 and the like.
I am allowing one client to *test* a chat program called WebChatter.
Normally I don't allow chat scripts; but decided I would allow a testing of
this one, since some of my clients have been asking for a chat solution that
allows for private rooms. He's agreed to pull it immediately if it puts too
much of a drain on things.
I've been referring clients to www.webmaster.com to get a Backpack chat
room, but those are wide open and frankly - the people that come wandering
into your room, you wouldn't want them chatting with your kids. So we're
trying this one as a possible solution. (If anyone has any better ideas I'm
wide open!)
I've included the top part of TOP while he was chatting, and then what my
TOP normally looks like (taken a few minutes after he stopped testing the
chat script). Even while he was chatting, the usage went way up but the
load average was still pretty minimal - (2.07, 1.97, 1.58). (His username
has been changed here in the display.)
1. So to you linux gurus, does this look like enough of a load to nix it and
look elsewhere, or should I not even worry about it at this point?
2. And I've been looking all through the archive as to what that mdrecoveryd
line might mean, but haven't been enlightened as of yet, so any comments on
that would be welcome.
3. Does anyone know of a little script, php code snippet, or SSI call that
will take that first line of TOP and put it on a webpage for me? I'd like
to have this handy for my clients' area so they can see it as well.
