Errr... no. It means that your box is too heavily loaded. A load average
of 0 is opitimal. A load average of 1 means that your CPU can't keep up
with the amount of work being thrown at it. Load is the number of jobs
in the run queue -- that is, processes that are waiting for a timeslice
(those is runnable state, not those sleeping, waiting on I/O etc.). They
could be run were the CPU not busy doing other things.
