After reading the man page for uptime, I was left with a question about Mach
Factor. I know that a mach factor of 0 would be a pegged system, but what
is an idle system? On a single CPU workstation, the mach factor when it was
idle was almost 1.0 (about .97). On a 2 CPU AS4000, the mach factor when it
was idle was nearly 2 (about 1.98). So does the idle Mach Factor go up by 1
for each CPU? (ie. a 4 CPU server would have an idle mach factor of nearly
4).
Thanks,
John
