Re: [PLUG] Load Average


I personally find the load average really useful only after watching a 
machine for a while and getting a feel for it.  It varies machine to 
machine and OS to OS.

I agree with the previous comments on the number of CPUs versus the load 
average.  But I think it really only makes sense when you know how your 
personal machine responds at different load levels.
