Gzip Load and Memory Issues

[Solokron]

Gzip has been throwing my load up to 400% and taking a HUGE chunk of memory...

Server Load 4.07 (1 cpu)

User Domain %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes
root 4.07 259.63 2.0
Top Process %CPU 58.8 gzip
Top Process %CPU 50.6 gzip



Any tweaks that can be done to clean this up a bit?

Oh joy...

User Domain %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes
root 5.51 567.42 2.0
Top Process %CPU 64.9 gzip
Top Process %CPU 38.0 gzip
Top Process %CPU 36.7 gzip

Now up to 820

User Domain %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes
root 8.20 534.27 2.0
Top Process %CPU 78.5 gzip
Top Process %CPU 38.1 gzip
Top Process %CPU 24.0 gzip

User Domain %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes
root 6.42 581.60 2.0
Top Process %CPU 71.4 /usr/bin/perl /scripts/rpmup2
Top Process %CPU 42.0 md5sum /backup/cpbackup/daily/fockedco.tar.gz
Top Process %CPU 40.8 gzip

!! Anyone?

Looks like you have upcp running and it's simply doing the daily backups (that where gzip gets used heavily).
