What does the load average in TOP mean? One of our user is trying to run
a HUGE spreadsheet in open office. Running TOP I see that up to 97% of
the CPU usage gets allotted and the CPU "Load Average" is showing
averages of 1, 5 & 15 minutes ranging between 3.8 ~ 1.2
I want to know what this figure mean? Is this indicating that the
processor is getting loaded beyond the capacity (and hence slow down??)
