It's not specific to ISDN. By default, when you do a "show int", you will see a "5 minute input rate" and "5 minute output rate". The load figures are calculated over five minutes (I believe it's an exponentially decaying algorithm or something similar, not a straight average). These load figures are used in conjunction with "dialer load-threshold" to determine when to bring up (or drop) another ISDN channel. Now, you might want your ISDN channels to react more quickly to changes in load. In that case, you can set the load-interval to something shorter (e.g. 30 seconds). When you do a "show int" you will now see that a "30 second input rate". The load figure will react more quickly if the load suddenly increases, and your ISDN channel will be brought up more quickly.
There's a good explanation in the command reference - http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/fun_r/frprt3/frd3003.htm#xtocid2298117 (watch the wrap).
