NAME

       /proc/loadavg - load average

DESCRIPTION

       /proc/loadavg
              The  first  three fields in this file are load average figures giving the number of
              jobs in the run queue (state R) or waiting for disk I/O (state D) averaged over  1,
              5,  and  15  minutes.   They  are  the  same  as  the load average numbers given by
              uptime(1) and other programs.  The fourth field consists of two  numbers  separated
              by  a  slash  (/).   The  first of these is the number of currently runnable kernel
              scheduling entities (processes, threads).  The value after the slash is the  number
              of  kernel scheduling entities that currently exist on the system.  The fifth field
              is the PID of the process that was most recently created on the system.
