Server 17 is ALWAYS really slow...I assumed it was a bandwidth issue but looking at ther cpu load WOW!

Come on guys how many sites are you trying to cram onto a single cpu machine?

Server load of nearly 22!!!!

Now Web, FTP, Cpanal and WHM are down with 76.51 load

This usually happens when server is under attack. This time it was a mail bomb.

There are less than 160 sites on this server.

That may web be the case but I notice it never gets a mention on the Latest Outages (as of Nov 1st, 2003) list.

The server is always running at 2.5 + server load which makes my sites very slow.

"Server Up Time: 12:57:01 up 5 days, 18:13, 2 users, load average: 2.38, 3.58, 4.12"

Q. What is considered an acceptable server load?

It depends on hardware and other server characteristics, Usually a server with average of 3 considered as a busy server, while a dual processor server can work perfectly fine at load of 5.

Note that server load is just for CPU, main pain is the storage (aka HDD), if it gets some real traffic then in most cases load get high and you will feel the slowness even at load 3. But at a low storage traffic a server with load of 30 will still work and can bring the load down over time.
