I only use borg viruses for those things that are not ported to linux and there is no alternative. All borg virus have demonstrated they have very limited multitasking and are all multiday unstable.
my linux web server.
[ 2 ] > uptime
10:59:06 up 85 days, 6:50, 5 users, load average: 1.02, 1.02, 1.00
my u13.10 box is in the process of migration, so rebooting occurs. Note the load average and what is running all at the same time and I have <1 second response switching.....
watson@xen1[171]uptime

I had a semi freeze last night. one of my instances of google-chome went into a constant load 1. testing the start of a an application, caused an addition load 12+
I managed to find and kill the crazy process and did not have to reboot. Then I killed the chrome at 1.
Even with a chrome at load 1, there was no perception of a response slowdow.
fyi, I use alias and small scripts to isolate information for seeing problems that repeat.
note: this is all in tcsh syntax, a little different than bash.
alias ptop 'ps au |head -1;ps aux | sort -r -n -k 3 | head -20'
alias ptop120 'ps au |head -1;ps aux | sort -r -n -k 3 | head -20 |cut -c"1-120"'
ptop gives the top twenty %CPU processes at nay moment. 2nd ptop120 is because chrome gives processes with a few hundred characters. widen the xterm and cut to 120 keeps output on 20 lines.
exploring my fvwm mystery.
This is my current fvwm pager. It was only supposed to create 12x1 desks, but it seems there are at least 48x1 or is that 12x4???
at the same time I found I could also run the xfce-panel.
