[Users] Wrong load values on openvz kernels?

[Tim Small]

Are you sure you don't have any zombie processes etc.?

Processes which are blocked in the kernel (e.g. a kernel bug), or which
are waiting on disk I/O add to the load.

run top, and hit 'i' to eliminate idle processes, what's left should be
an average of 22 processes doing something...

Is this the case?

Tim.
