Record High Load Average

[Brian Kantor]

A few years ago our Vax-780 'sdcc3' set the netwide load average record
high of 128 (and may still hold it for a single-processor Unix system).

Yesterday we got our network connections unjammed and our mail gateway
'UCSD' set what I think may be the record for a Vax-750: 85.3.  And this
is on a machine which has NO users, just sendmails.  Thank goodness
we're getting some faster hardware in soon.

Truly a frightful experience.
