Thank you for your comments. Load average can be larger than one, in fact that is quite common. It does not equal average cpu usage for the given time periods, especially not on linux where I/O is also factored in. And then you'd have to consider the fact that you are using an smp system. In short: the numbers in your example are nothing out of the ordinary.
