The computation goes as follows, IIRC:
load = 0;
for (i=0; i<= number_of_timeslices_per_second; i++)
sum += processes_ready_to_run_for timeslice(i);
load = sum / number_of_timeslices_per_second;
This is the load for one second. The values displayed are averages over
1, 5, 15 minutes.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
