Mornin',
I've just seen my highest load ever on my 486 linux box - 17.68 :-) I
had set updatedb set to run 3 times a week, but for some reason it
decided that it would launch itself ~35 times and really grind the disk.
After about an hour I noticed that the machine was reeeaaallllyy slow,
and the hard drive was still grinding. Doh!! I was using linuxconf, but
it's obviously not as foolproof as I'd hoped :-)
