Can anybody explain to me what the "average load" figures you can get vith the top - command really means.

Someone is telling me that our Sun Solaris Server, running a suncluster with two database instances where we have Oracles emailserver and Oracles ldapserver combined with Oracles Unified messaging, having problems with the CPU-load and that the system is constantly doing a lot of swaping.

The average load is around 0.5.

The CPU is idle most of the times (95 %). Of cours this is going up and down but for the most of the times the CPU is idle.

The application running on is a webapplication so there is two webservers talking to this database-server with a jdbc - connection.

There are for the moment not so many people using the site but when we run our application we have no problems with performance.

But back to the average load.

Is it a high number? Is there anything else you are supposed to look at?

Any suggestions or ideas would be more than welcome.
