Look below: load over 7 and no processes take much CPU.
load average is NOT sum of CPU loads.
for example program reading constantly from HDD and using no CPU will add
1 to load average.
other things like net I/O etc. are calculated too. i can't explain you
exactly how because i don't know precisely.
but load average is total load not just CPU load
