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
