Jonathan,
there must be something wrong with the networking. How many `server.listen` configuration
values
do yo have? Is it a physical server or a virtual one? What is the network card used?

Hi,
We run around 50 knot servers around the world, with great success -
thanks for the software!
Thanks for this feedback :-)
We are just a little curious about seemingly high CPU usage, and how
best to interpret the results, if someone could advise? Specifically,
we are seeing the majority of the cpu time in 'system' and not 'user',
what would that suggest is happening perhaps?
Could you provide me the output from `knotc status workers`?
I like htop. Are you able to send me a screenshot when running htop? :-)
[Don't forget to configure:
F2
Display options->Detailed CPU time
(System/IO-Wait/Hard-IRQ/Soft-IRQ/Steal/Guest)
F10

Best,
