I just looked in for my Stats and the server is down for "maintenance"
I saw this message

BOINCstats is currently down for maintenance or to lower the load on the server during a stats update.
Current load: 1.16

The Load part intrigues me , what is the number that causes this to be displayed? or is 1.16 a "WU 's queued for processing" number or People viewing the site? or something else?

It't the number of threads waiting to be executed by one of the CPU's in the system.

Now I hear you thinking, 1 is not that bad. That's true, but as soon as I open the site it goes up to 20. Also not a problem, the server can take that, but it slows down the update, and pages come a bit slower. This causes reloads, more load on the CPU, more reload, slower update etc.....

(Thought a little explanation as to why the site is offline while the load is low was in place.)

Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.

OH thats interesting,

I got this message several times:

BOINCstats is currently down for maintenance or to lower the load on the server during a stats update.
Current load: 0

Please try again later.

How do you lower the laod less than ZERO.

Just thought it was cute.
