A new unit of measurement: the “DreamHost”
After experiencing load averages over 50 on two DreamHost servers, gummi and hyperion, I would like to define a new unit of measurement: the “DreamHost.”
One DreamHost is defined as a server running with a one-minute load average of 8.
Hence, my server has been running at between 6 and 7 DreamHosts today. But I’m getting off easy, this guy ran into DreamHost servers running at 125 DreamHosts!
I’m done dreaming – I’m having nightmares now.
