Idle load ~ 75% with "divider=10" in grub.conf

Post by daledouglas »

Hi all,

I'm running guest=CentOs 5.5, host=OS X 10.6.5, VB3.2.12. I applied the additions, and then retroactively added "divider=10" to my grub.conf. I'm seeing an idle load of ~ 75%; any ideas? Is "divider=100" viable?

What load do you have when you don't set a divider at all?
