Hi John,

:-)  It has been a LONG winter for lots of folk throughout the US.

re:

I am surprised by the high load average on your ingestor since we don't see 
anything
like that on the several machines on which we are ingesting of the data flowing 
in the
IDD.

Question:

- what are the specs for your ingest machine?

I would say that there is definitely something wrong ** assuming ** of course 
that
the machine is not really old.

re:

Yes, it does.

Question:

- what action(s) are you using to process the Level II data?

Cheers,

Tom
