See here for the gory details:

"The sum of the number of processes waiting in the run-queue plus the number currently executing"

And yes, get the -pg flag out of the makefiles and with halfway decent hardware you probably will never be CPU bound on an EMU server. Compared to this the right -O and -march= flags are just icing on the cake.

Obviously joo dont know who i am, and thats fine, I was a developer for the emulator, i was also Co-admin of one of the largest emu servers. I am well aware of how eqemu works under linux. Again, somone load up 71 static zones, and tell me, if they all load under linux. I can tell you right now, when the last guildwars was under development they wouldnt.
