[Lula] system load averages

Hi list,

I thought some of you gurus could make sense of this for me...

Both 'top' and 'uptime' produce numbers for system load averages at
one, five and fifteen minutes.  I've read a bunch of stuff about
system load averages but it seems vague and contradictory.  What
numbers would actually indicate that the system cpu was overloaded?

Thanks, Steve
