mh. well, i am not entirely sure of this, but i thought that a load of
2.00 indicates that to the best of linux's knowledge, two of the
processors of which one is currently running would be 100% busy.
otherwise you will have to persuade me that 2.00 is 2% and that my
systems on average use only 0.30% of the cpu. :)
