Re: Why the IBM i *might* not be a good web server

Some systems...?

You mean Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ....
etc
There is nothing special about not hanging when CPU utilization reaches 100%.

Windows is a very bad example, for anything
A better comparison would be Linux, or any other "decent" OS, e.g. QNX, whatever.

Seriously, though, the percentage utilization is really a measure of
idle time. If there is no idle time, you're at 100% utilization.
Adding more work doesn't change the lack of idle time, it just means
everything takes a little longer.

Some systems <kawf...Windows...kawf> lock up when you get to (or even
near) 100%. Well designed task management, though, allows the
initiation of jobs and properly shares resources by priority. The i has
the best task management software available today, and has since the
days of the S/38 and maybe even the System/3 (anyone remember CCP?).

When it says 100% it must be lying :-)
