wtf diesel?

[Ralph DiMola]

No word from David about what happened.  David probably hasn't had much sleep in last few days. I'm sure  he will let us know when he wakes up.

Any word on why the server load has prolonged spikes?

Is there a user on the affected machines trying to run needlessly 
complicated scripts?

Many years ago there was discussion here about CPU throttling on the 
on-rev servers, as we'd expect with any shared hosting service so a 
single account can't dominate the machine and deny use for others (I 
once heard someone say that they felt it was a reasonable expectation 
that they should be able to run CPU-maxing analytics programs on a 
shared host for 7 or 8 hours at a time <g>)>

It may be helpful to know what causes these unusual server loads.
