If You need, I can send to you snapshots from > SysRq. The changes in -pre3 won't cut down on the load reported by top/ps. The goal is to cut down on latencies on the box as a whole. So the load will still be as high, but you'll still be able to do an ls without waiting indefinitely for the results. So, if you are still seeing bad response times, I can send you a patch to try in private mail (it has been posted here a few times already). -chris
