Without making any comment on the accuracy of this information, there are two severe problems with this: First, it is almost completely incomprehensible due to grammatical errors and a generally rambling style. Second, the section existed to contradict the rest of the article. Sp0, if you believe the article is factually inaccurate, the correct response is to edit or replace the existing text to make it accurate, and preferably also to include citations of reliable sources to prevent an edit war. -- [[User:Tyler McHenry|Tyler]] ([[User talk:Tyler McHenry|talk]]) 18:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
== Misleading and wrong... ==
This article has so many sections that are misleading or wrong that I don't even know where to start... Almost want to delete much of it, yet lazy to rewrite...
# Adding to the note by previous user, "Load average is not CPU utilization" is correct. Load average is not necessarily CPU utilization. If the system was hanging on disk all the time, and CPU was hitting high iowait, it's not exactly "utilizing" the CPU.
# Statements like this is just wrong: "(no processes had to wait for a turn)". We already know processes waited on the minute average, just because we change averages doesn't magically change history. Average does not define minimums and maximums.
# To use the word "overloaded" and "underloaded" is also highly misleading. Your system may not be underloaded at all even if the system has 0.7 load average. Loads spike and drop, once again, average does not define minimums and maximums. Whether it's underloaded or not depends on what is running and how it's affecting the system. Personally, I would say it's underloaded if and only if it can handle the maximums over a small period of time.
# "This means that this CPU could have handled all of the work scheduled for the last minute if it were 1.73 times as fast" is also untrue. Load average, once again, is not purely dependent on CPU. That implies that load average only depends on CPU.
