Line 111:
:::why is a load of 7.9 over 5 minutes mean half the time the processor is in use? that cld make some sense for 15 minutes, its clear this example needs revising, i'll se if i can find a new example on line

: The article itself says that the load is calculated as ''exponentially damped/weighted moving average''. As I understand that means, a load of 5 in the last minute is counted as more significant than a load of 5 in that minute before. However the example ''A load of 3.73 means that during the last minute, the CPU was overloaded by 273%'' does assume an arithmetic average hence is flawed.<br>PS: I still admit, that the example even if not absolutely correct, might help to give a new reader a good idea of this complex matter :D
