You're seeing load avgs that high, eh?  And I assume to individual 
vservers are still performing well?

I don't think I've ever seen a machine that wasn't nearly deadlocked 
with load averages anywhere near that high...So I'm guessing this is a 
sign of the flaws in load avg calculation.

If you don't mind my asking, what does a 'vmstat 1' say about your CPU 
user/system usage and CPU idle during a high load period?  I think that 
tends to be a better display of what load the box is seeing and how much 
more it can handle.
