Newb here.  I want to schedule a bunch of tasks > #cores.  Let's say I want
to run #cores at a time (100% utilization).

If I do
seq 1 1000 | parallel --load 100% blah blah...

What is the load that is being looked at?  A 5 minute load average?  So at
the time I start this 1000 tasks, loadave is 0 (say), will it start all
1000 tasks at once, because loadave is 0 - only to have loadave become
1000?  Or does it do something smarter than that?

Thanks,
Neal
