July 25, 20169 yr At the same time this was going on, plex transcode was showing CPu % at 350. Is this because I have 6 cores, and have 600 percent available? Is this something to be concerned about? Java is at 100? What is this?
July 25, 20169 yr Author Here is Htop. Looks like Java is relating to Crashplan. It looks like one of my cores is getting hit pretty hard
July 25, 20169 yr At the same time this was going on, plex transcode was showing CPu % at 350. Is this because I have 6 cores, and have 600 percent available? Is this something to be concerned about? Why do you think it's showing it at 350%? Nothing in what you posted shows 350%. Load average does not indicate processor usage. http://www.howtogeek.com/194642/understanding-the-load-average-on-linux-and-other-unix-like-systems/ This measurement is displayed as a number. A completely idle computer has a load average of 0. Each running process either using or waiting for CPU resources adds 1 to the load average. So, if your system has a load of 5, five processes are either using or waiting for the CPU. Unix systems traditionally just counted processes waiting for the CPU, but Linux also counts processes waiting for other resources — for example, processes waiting to read from or write to the disk. On its own, the load number doesn’t mean too much. A computer might have a load of 0 one split-second, and a load of 5 the next split-second as several processes use the CPU. Even if you could see the load at any given time, that number would be basically meaningless.

July 25, 20169 yr Author I was referring to the CPu % column. Java was showing 100, Qemu was showing 59, and just before I took the screenshot, plex transcode was showing 350. Im just making sure there is no problem
