Re: Load ~40 on 2.6.10, Lots of connections

[Ben Wilhelm <zorba@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, as a followup to my Lots of Connections thread - I left it up 
overnight and came back in the morning, and it was eating the entire CPU 
and dropping basically every connection. Sounds familiar to this as 
well. :P I'm using Tor 0.1.0.5rc on WinXP SP1. It was doing the same 
"giving up on unattached conn" error with nice big numbers (90s+).

Curiously, mine was using all of *one* CPU, but not two - I've got SMP.
