>From the manual pages for top:
"...three load averages for the system. The load averages are the average
number of process ready to run during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes."
What does "ready to run" mean?
Sometimes I will see '2.15, 2.04, 2.02' yet the highest %CPU is only 0.4% and
the
machine seems slow. How can I determine the actual bottleneck? Must not be CPU
usage.
Maybe it is disk speed? More typically the load averages are something like
'0.01,
0.10, 0.31'.
