Loadavg isn't much of a measure here, it's a measure of the length of the runnable queue. If you've only got two processes because your server has a thread per processor, then yes, you'll see lower loadavg, but not lower load. A real measure would look at idle percentage and throughput. -- "Love the dolphins," she advised him.
