59 degrees celsius !!!

i dont know what everyone else`s servers
heat is by that seems very high.

mines 33.5 on a 450 Mhz AMD.

is that with a cat /proc/cpuinfo ?
what processor do you have in this raq ?

the load average is measured in CPU cycles.

I'm only responding to this one post, and not all in the thread. After a
few minutes I had no more warning and things seem fine. But, for interest
sake I'd thought I'd put this out:

Over the past fifteen minutes, the CPU has been lightly loaded.
15 minute CPU load average is 2.35
The processor is currently 59 degrees Celsius.
The system has been running for 1 day, 17 hours, and 47 minutes.

This is showing 2.35 - yet it is GREEN and lightly loaded, that doesn't
make sense if that is trying to tell me that it is getting 2.35xCPUcapacity
requests. My real concern is that it is now green, I am *curious* as to
what these #'s really say, why 2.35 is green and 5 is red, especially since
there is opinion that it should be < 1

Thanks!!
