I spiked the load on my FreeBSD workstation up to 380 last night and kept it there for more than ten minutes. I mined my apache logs for all unique IPs, then ran a one-liner that looped through the file and ran a dig in the background that appended its results to a file. bash at one point was managing 28,000 jobs. The load spiked up to 380 and stayed there for a while. The cool part was the machine was still fairly responsive to input, didn't die/choke/hang, didn't run out of anything, etc. I was fairly impressed.
I know there are a lot more efficient ways to do a thing like that, but this was an interesting torture test and I knew it was going to be that way.
My wmmon CPU monitor was all horizontal lines and no graph. Kind of amusing.
There's no real point to this post but to restate my respect for FreeBSD.
