Combative, aren't we?  Jeeze...  Well, for the last time, here you go:

System Time+   Uptime+     Number of users+  Average Length of Wait Queue
	   |         |                    |     For last min+  5min+ 15mins+

: >  10:55AM   up 9 days,  19:42,  93 users,  load average: 0.84, 1.15, 1.27

These numbers tell me that Holly has been plugging along for nine days,
nineteen hours, and forty-two minutes, currently has 93 users logged in,
and over the past minute, the processors were idle 16% of the time. This
shows a lowering trend, for in the past fifteen minutes, holly was averaging
about one process waiting for a CPU.

When the uptime reaches into the tens of thousands of days, then yeah --
there's probably a memory problem.  I suggest you re-read the last couple
of posts.  It is obvious that you missed the point of some of them.

Let me see if I can sum it up for you: "Holly is a very powerful machine
that can handle the load of close to one hundred concurrent users without
breaking a sweat."

Thank you, ACNS - have a great break!
