    I am new to using a VPS, so I just wanted to ask what are considered "healthy" server loads? Here is my current status:

    Server load: 0.39 (3 CPUs)
    Memory Used: 12.57% (769,896 of 6,123,388)
    Swap Used: 0% (0 of 4,194,296)


    Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    With just this limited glance, it looks like your on a VPS that is more powerful then you need. That's not a bad thing.

    I did sort of feel like I got "upsold" :) We are really happy with the performance (members have already started a thread about how zippy it suddenly is), but I think we could accomplish the same effect with a quarter of the resources!

    Just finished our stress test by hammering ourselves with Facebook traffic - got 750 users online at once:

    Server load: 0.87 (3 CPUs)
    Memory Used: 12.45% (762,440 of 6,123,388)
    Swap Used:0% (0 of 4,194,296)

    Running flawlessly. Really cool, the difference between shared and VPS - our members are thrilled!
