	Impressive, especially when you consider that this is a Sequent.


Here is our record for phoenix, a VAX8700, set one day last Jan..  
And you thought that 120 was bad...

563  26  592.25 582.53 561.21
564  16  515.56 564.72 556.40
565  16  316.76 503.03 535.30
566  19  121.18 413.23 501.27

This is output from a program one of the systems people is running on 
phoenix.princeton.edu, in an effort to track down the cause of the
periodic crashes we've experienced. The first column is minutes since 
midnight, the second is users and the rest is load average per uptime.
