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

Is it secure to use a random-but-fixed salt (openssl enc -S salt)?

I want to use rsync to backup a large file (say 1G) that changes a
little each day (say 1M), but I also want the ability to re-create
older versions of this file.
I could use --backup, but that would create a 1G file each day, even
though I only "really" need the 1M that's changed.
How do I tell
