I was struggling to find the information so I thought it would be easier to ask here.
What does the load average as reported by top mean ? To me those are 3 mysterious values, which most likely refer to some average CPU usage and this is all I know about it (not sure if it’s true).
What is the maximum value for this parameter (I guess the minimum is 0.00) and what does it mean ?
