Well, my first impression was "Well, before doing this task the load average
was only 0.20, now it's 4.0, obviously it can't keep up now." Which could
probably be extended to "Under Linux the load average for running my
database is only 0.20, FreeBSD's is 4.0, Linux must be faster."
Granted it's flawed logic, but it's all a matter of perception at times.
