exactly what i said.
Regardless from what you said: you _wrote_ CPU _load_, not cpu
_utilization_, which are two completely different thingemies. The load
averages in top describe the state the entire machine is in, not just
the CPU.
In that case he's correct: whenever the CPU has to wait a lot for I/
O,
like network and disk, then the _load_ will go up, while the CPU
_utilization_ stays low.
and that's inconsistent with explanation that load average is
measure of CPU load.
it's not.
I never claimed load average = CPU load!
