Re: [savannah-help-public] Slowness of Savannah in the morning

[Karl Berry]

I added an iotop invocation to vcs:/etc/cron.d/sv, at the same time as
top, to see if it gets us anything useful.  Also nice-d all the relevant
cron jobs.

There was a load average of 10+ on both Saturday and Sunday from 0700
though 0800 (more or less), so clearly the backup job change was not a
panacea (as expected).  /var/tmp/toplog shows the usual array of git,
bzr, cvs, etc., processes, mostly niced, mostly in disk wait.  The
backup job doesn't even show up any more.

Sigh.
