Google for "Neil Gunther" who did a series of articles explaining why "load average" is non-intuitive and not helpful answering your questions. Your VM Performance Monitor gives the breakdown of total CPU usage and shows what each virtual machine is using. My favorite performance monitor also shows the breakdown per process within that virtual machine - real time as well as in daily reports.
