Hi! Note that those two tasks are on 100% CPU. Top's "load" information, in your case, could be more related to cpu usage than memory usage, since you're not using too much swap. Search the related man page and documentation for top, for better understanding. Just guessing, but... are those two tasks really taking advantage of the multi-processing? Maybe the "atop" command, if available, could give you more information.
