Estou tentando entender a média de carga do meu sistema quando ocioso. Aqui estão alguns resultados depois que o sistema foi executado por algumas horas, com quase nada instalado.

Observe que a média de carga é [0,81, 0,77, 0,77] !
Alguma ideia do que está acontecendo para causar uma "média de carga" tão alta?
EDIT: Esta pergunta não é sobre o que é a média de carga.
"carrega números médios que dão o número de trabalhos na fila de execução (estado R) ou espera por E / S de disco (estado D)"
Como pode haver processos de estado D se a E / S é quase zero e como há tantos trabalhos na fila de execução? Existe uma maneira de saber quais empregos estão lá?
