Sure, something like that sounds fine. Though I'd make the upper bound higher than 100. Maybe a million? Sun bug 4756989 was a user complaining that SunOS getloadavg messed up when the load factor was greater than 32768 on a Sun Fire E25K. This was a circa-2004 design. The bug was eventually fixed. Granted, that was a stressed host, but high load factors are not that uncommon on real-world multiple-CPU machines.
