Acceptable cpu usage per process?
I have a couple of users that have very cpu-intensive scripts running. I found one today that caused my cpu load to go up to 3.2 on a single cpu system!!! I did a top command and found this script using 98.3% of cpu. This is a ridiculous load because the system averages around .07 cpu load when his script is not running.
What is an acceptable cpu usage for a single user in a shared environment? Obviously the one above is not acceptable... I am just trying to figure out what an acceptable cpu usage policy will be before I add a bunch of users to the system.
Thanks for your thoughts!
