<div dir="ltr">Hello!<br><br>I have nginx with php-fpm running on a 16 core Ubuntu 16.04 instance.
The server is handling more than 10 million requests per hour.<br><br><a href="https://imgur.com/a/iRZ7V">https://imgur.com/a/iRZ7V</a><br><div><div class="gmail-post-text">
<p>As you can see on the htop screenshot cores 6 and 7 are maxed out and
that's the case constantly - even after restarting nginx those two
cores stay at that level. </p>
<p>I wonder why is that so and how to balance the load more evenly?</p><p>Also I'm curious to know whether this might indicate a performance relevant issue or if it is most likely harmless and just looks odd.</p><pre><code>> cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | grep -v '^\s*#'
