Re: Why is my load average 3.00?

what does postgres have to do with email?

and this is linux, you don't remove software or restart to fix
problems. his system can probably run 20 postgres invocations
simultaneously.

anyway, uninterruptible sleep, state 'D' is the answer that others
posted. load level 3.00 does not mean that it's overloaded, because
those uninterruptibly sleeping processes basically just sit in the
processor queue but eat no processor time (well, or very little...).
