I'd hesitate to call a load average of 1.02 an "overload".

There is a really good explanation (well it certainly helped me!) of what is actually being measured in a series of articles available at:

http://www.teamquest.com/resources/gunther/ldavg1.shtml
and
http://www.teamquest.com/resources/gunther/ldavg2.shtml

To quote a point these articles make: 'The "load" is not the utilization but the total queue length'.

So you can't treat the averages as 1.0 = 100% CPU utilisation.


Agreed. My later post describes my response to this.

I meant to emphasize the CPU load and Memory usage :)
