I mean, its OK if it peaks above a 3-4, but to consistently run at a high load means that you have under estimated your machine size! I mean, this is not an HP only problem. You push any, *ANY* unix box that hard, and you will have problems. The one thing about NT, is that no matter what drives it, iit always performs the same. Read: No scalability.
