multiple cores are seen as multiple cpus. so there is no difference.
i dont know how threads are implemented in the cpu.
a load average of 2.0 on a dual cpu (or dual core) system is a 100% load
average. accroding to man.

A question about uptime. My understanding of the load average figures is
that a figure less than 2.0 on a 2 CPU machine means the CPUs don't have
more work than they can keep up with (on average).
How is this figure (1 per CPU) affected on multicore CPUs? What about
multi-threaded CPU's?
