This may or may not be a problem, but I have a GS140 system with 12 cpus and
8Gb of memory running V4.0f that appears to have a very large number of
threads in the waiting state - see vmstat output below. I can find no
apparent problem or bottleneck, i/o waits etc, but I am somewhat unsure as
to why I should have so many threads waiting. Can any throw any light on why
this number might be so large and what I can potential look at to identify
what all these threads are and what they are waiting for. I've looked for
summaries on this subject but have so far found nothing.
Thanks,
Dave Campbell
