Lines: 8 Message-ID: <51olk6$qt0@frodo.ShireNet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bilbo.shirenet.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Does anyone know if there is a difference between how the load average is calculated in BSD/OS 2.1 vs 2.0? I suppose if there is one, it is probably related to changes in how processes are scheduled, etc. I've noticed 2.1 seems to report a consistently higher load average than 2.0 did running the same apparent load. No big deal, but I'd like to know what may be going on. Larry Himes.
