schestowitzcan't a single x session handle all? KDE4 might be even harder to manage with this...Jul 17 01:32
schestowitzI've come to the conclusion that for the cost of the GPU like these one can just buy a new extra computer without a monitorJul 17 01:32

schestowitziotop is dominated by pdflush. I would have recommended renice with a wildcard, but I notice that the server already put the priority at the right level.Jul 17 02:19
schestowitzOne way of reducing the load might be to rsync on two machines (split) and merge them with CPU-cheap scp at the end. These backups are only getting bigger over time.Jul 17 02:19

schestowitz"Made some technical suggestions with hope of at least sharing ideas. This problem of scale is not going away because backups are usually getting larger over time."Jul 17 02:21
