I'm running on an HP DL380 (dual 1.4Ghz PIII's) with 2GB RAM. The disks 
are SCSI, RAID5. The OS is SLES10. We have about 500 hosts and over 550 
service checks.

The load average is 3.01, 1.03, 0.51. Memory usage is about 1.5 GB with 
most of that in cache.

now) is over powered. Adding more service checks or increasing their 
frequency would probably have an impact on overall load.


HTH,
Sean
