(No writing). I have setup just a simple three node system, and when I put it under a load of a number of clients; gluster is really killing the cpu. Anything I should specifically look at? Using v3.8.15.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Basically all three machines replicate each other; the idea is so that each machine can be a member of the apache serving group for scalability. The load test asked for basically the same 40 or so files over and over again. If anyone has some pointers on what to look at; I can ramp up the load on the machine on demand and test things; but having it take ~45% of the total cpu under what I consider a fairly light load worries me a lot about Glusters Scalability. Based on the bug reports and other newgroup messages it seems I might be hitting some corner case as I believe this is unusual result; so any pointers, any data I can provide. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nathanael A.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
