These folks have no clue at all. There have been numerous times when the total CPU idle time is less than 1%, and although the load average on my virtual server is less than 1, response time to interactive applications (such as elm) suffer greatly.

When I call to complain, they fix it quickly, but will absolutely refuse to admit that they should have seen this.  I've been a sysadmin for over 10 years, and I know there are tools that can track CPU usage.  They claim they cannot measure this except in realtime; in other words, they do not use performance measuring software.

I have spoken with reps such as Marco Navarro, Rich Burgi, Steven Sintay, David Bailey, John Aldridge, Robyn Campbell, David Godsey, and Eric Barzeele.  Not a single one of these folks will admit that 0% idle CPU is a bad thing. I do not understand this attitude at all.

On the flip side, though, the front-line folks are usually pretty good.  However, their second-tier support and management just don't have a clue.
