The Processor Queue Length shows the number of threads that are delayed in the processor Ready Queue and are waiting to be scheduled for execution. The value listed is the last observed value at the time the measurement was taken.
On a machine with a single processor, observations where the queue length is greater than 5 is a warning sign that there is frequently more work available than the processor can handle readily. When this number is greater than 10, then it is an extremely strong indicator that the processor is ...
