System load	by oldphart	2007-01-25 05:30:09
In Windows NT, all system calls were handled by CPU 0. IN OS/2 they were distributed evenly. Most unices seem to be somewhere in between, with one processor (either highest or lowest number) getting more of the system work. Old linux kernels had a tendency to move tasks to the least busy CPU in such a way that it caused extra overhead, I seem to recall a fix to ensure processor affinity a couple years ago. That would mean that a long-running task would stay on the processor it initially was launched on.
