I'm questioning some of the numbers I get from lload. Two things in particular. First, lload counts itself as a runnable process. Wouldn't it be more realistic if it skipped itself? Second, I find that every process blocked for input from a FIFO (named pipe) is added to the n_disk count, which causes three of my daemons to appear in the load average. As a result, I think the number produced by lload should be four less than what is actually being reported.
