Oops,,,,that should be 5 per cpu.
1 cpu = 5
4 cpus = 20

anything over 5 is bad; 5 and under is good.
sun classes: sysadmin & hardware.
sun field & system engineers.
sun, being an engineering powerhouse with tons of experience, set the
standard.

of course, i have seen v120s trudge like a dog at ~20 and come to a dead
stop at ~40.

i haven't seen a properly sized linux box even hit a load of 5.
