How do you know how many processes are running? What does 'top' say about CPU |
| 14 |
usage and load? Maybe dnetc has two threads, which can each occupy a core, so |
| 15 |
you have still 4 threads that are running, in 3 processes. You still should |
| 16 |
get a load of 5 or higher. |
| 17 |
You don't have a lot of IO load, do you? |
