My Windows server is next door to unused so 4 load is could be a percentage
or the *nix variant.
I do know that *nix load is NOT a % - this may be the same situation with
the BBWin client.

 The BBWIN cpu component reports cpu usage as load... for example, if cpu0
is 4% and cpu1 is 6% then it reports load=5%, the average of the two.

The thing is, that we've been watching the cpu utilization with the Windows
tools and it never shows either cpu hitting 100% (more like maybe 70% max)
even though bbwin frequently goes red, hitting 99 and 100%.

I am running a 1982 version of the BB client on one Windows box and it is
reporting load to my $newname4hobbit.  Are you comparing load to load or
CPU% to load?

Anybody else using bbwin (0.11) and seeing that it reports CPU much higher
than what Windows says the CPU load is?

Personally, I'm inclined to believe that Windows is getting it wrong, but
I'm biased.  :-)
