http://serverfault.com – I have a VPS and sometimes the CPU usage is high. I type top and everything seems fine. But, I don't really know what all the stuff it gives me means. Can yall help me? This is what I get: top - 18:19:44 up 3 min, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.01 Tasks: 84 total, 1 running, 83 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 508100k total, 86348k used, 421752k free, 2704k buffers Swap: 262140k total, 0k used, 262140k free, 36984k cached (HowTos)
