Question on r-queue from vmstat out
On our prod system we found sometime runqueue goes back to 0 as below.
Whereas on test server even with very very less work the r-queue never dropped to 0. Under what conditions r-queue drops to 0? Does it mean something unusual?

EG:
Code:
kthr    memory              page              faults        cpu       time  
----- ----------- ------------------------ ------------ ----------- --------

It just means that in that partical time time interval there were no running kernel threads and no runnable threads in the queue.. Maybe your production server has more CPU power ?
