I have Sab running on a Dockstar and noticed the Sysload on the upper right corner. Can someone tell me how to read this exactly? Mine looks like this.
Sysload: 0.77 | 0.50 | 0.33 | V=293M R=85M

Rough explanation:
Sysload: number of processes waiting to be handled. Lower is better.
V=, R=: Virtual and Real memory used by SABnzbd. Lower is better
Formal explanation
man uptime:
Code: Select all
System load averages is the average number of processes that are either
in a runnable or uninterruptable state. A process in a runnable state
is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU. A process in unin‐
terruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for disk.
The averages are taken over the three time intervals. Load averages
are not normalized for the number of CPUs in a system, so a load aver‐
age of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4
CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.
man top:
Code: Select all
38. VIRT -- Virtual Memory Size (KiB)
The total amount of virtual memory used by the task. It
includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that
have been swapped out and pages that have been mapped but not
used.
20. RES -- Resident Memory Size (KiB)
The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
