Is it normal on my high load average ?

[erniehong]

Dear all:
After I install the "NGX (R65) with CoreXL SecurePlatform" on my INTEL Server SE7520JR2,I reboot the server and do noting ,but when I sort the "top" command I see the load average is 3.xx always. Is it normal?

I just install the VPN-1 Power,Performance Pack and SmartCenter on my server.

below is the output of the "top" command

What's the model # for your system? If you do a "fwaccel off" from the CLI does the number change? While in top, hit "H" to show the additional threads.

I take it this wasn't an issue before the performance pack was installed?
