No, there is a misunderstanding here. I have not been comparing OpenBSD load averages to those on any other OS. I have been comparing load averages on the same machine on the same running OpenBSD 7.4 to previous values on the exact same running machine. (I don’t give a hoot about how other OSes calculate similar values. That is irrelevant to my issue.) I just want to figure out what would cause a mostly constant increase in load average for several hours without any apparent reason. Thanks! Mike
