But in that case you'd see > high load-aves. Not noticing a transient high load-average is consistent with a SOHO server, desktop, or mail client plugin. My desktop PC takes 15+ seconds and spends most of its time in REs but I never notice a slowdown, even though it's a single core. > If the box is mostly waiting for net-test results > that's a config issue (or serious network problem ;). > > The OP did ask about disabling all network tests which would imply > that he had some reason to suspect the latter. You pretty much either know it's a network problem, or you're guessing. And if you know it's a network problem, it's a short step to knowing why, so my guess is that it's supposition. I think CPU limiting is a distinct possibility.
