Hello all,

	Firstly the question...
While I'm compiling a program I run the command "uptime" which gives
me values like
	(Ozgur: ~)uptime
	 12:29am  up  1:02,  3 users,  load average: 2.09, 0.52, 0.17
	(Ozgur: ~)
Well, when the load average is about 3.0 the system becomes pretty slow...
The mouse waits for a while before moving, keyboard entries take time to
process, etc. (Basically, it slows down to a point where I am ready to go
for a coffee)

I am wondering if that is the case for everybody or if anyone can still work
normally over say 15.00 average (Never gotten there)....

I have..
	486-DX50
	1.2G Hd	- 484 Mb Linux - 16 Mb Swap - 700 Mb Dos/Windows
	8 Mb RAM
	16 Mb Swap Space
	1 Mb WD90C33 VL-Bus Card
(I don't know what other information to give!!!)

If this is a problem or if there is any way I can improve this, I would 
really appreciate some help...

Thanks in advance...
