Load Averages?


Recommended Posts

What is the maximum load average (i.e. 10.00) for a single processor system?

Trying to get a load script to work but I don't know what each load average indicates in terms of percentage of CPU usage...

a load average of 5.00 means there is an average of 5 processes in the queue to be processed by your cpu at a given time.. so your average could be 50 if you ran enough stuff :D
