The load itself is no real  indicator.  "Not staying up" should have been revised. Once I did a clean OS install, our servers processes ran fine without any slowdowns as usual. Just with a load of 3+ rather than a load of less than one, and with a much higher # of interrupts. > Rescheduling Interrupts: 4109580 on Wheezy vs 67418 on Squeeze.  > Timer: 504238 on Wheezy vs 50 on Squeeze.  Only the numbers per time-frame are of interrest, not absolute values.  Those #'s, though absolute, are relative to each other. Both machines were rebooted and then given traffic at the exact same time. Those values took about 10 minutes to build up, so I believe they can be used as a good measure of comparison.
