Perhaps.  I defer to the wisdom of the group.

James,

Not that I know of.  I thought that the Unix "load" number simply reflects the run queue length for the system as a whole, which is pretty much the same no matter how many CPU's there are.  Or are you willing to tolerate larger numbers for systems with fewer CPUs?
20 processes in the run queue is bad on a system with 1 cpu 20 processes
in the run queue is no problem for a system with 64 cpu's
