Whenever I run top now the load average is around 25% in all three columns. But the CPU utilization is around 50% to 90% but never getting stuck above 90% usually. The traffic is 2.5 MBits/s both ways. The server is a P4 2.8 Ghz with 2 gigs of RAM.

Does this sound pretty bad? My pages seem to load halfway decent but am I teetering on the edge here or is this perfectly normal for a server. I don't really know how many clients are connected but I think I put the cutoff at 130.

And what can I do to free up some resources? I run php and perl scripts(its a web proxy server).
thanks
austin
