Just an echo of the NYTimes non-story.
Bizarrely, this one self repudiates its own title near the end where they contacted a person that knows what they are doing…
Over at Mozilla, Datacenter Operations Manager Derek Moore says he probably averages around 6 to 10 percent CPU utilization from his server processors, but he doesn’t see that as a problem because he cares about memory and networking.
…
After we contacted him, Moore took a look at the utilization rates of about 1,000 Mozilla servers. Here’s what he found: the average CPU utilization rate was 6 percent; memory utilization was 80 percent; network I/O utilization was 42 percent.
CPU use is irrelevant to most internet servers.
Over the week, I operate my car engine at about 1.2% capacity. Maybe they should write about that.
