Summary

In this presentation, we will look at typical mistakes measuring or
interpreting Linux Performance. Do you use LoadAvg to assess if your
CPU is overloaded or Disk Utilization to see if your disks are
overloaded? We will look into these and a number of other metrics
which are often misunderstood and/or misused as well as provide
suggestions of better ways to measure Linux Performance.
