i've been trying to research this online , but i haven't found anything too conclusive . i've got up to 4 ices (non-encoding) rebroadcasts going , and up to 2 stream transcoders . my load averages around 2.xx ( haven't seen it over 3 yet ).. does anyone know if this is too high ? , or if i should use a more powerful cpu ? thanks .. . a:/, --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
