for FreeBSD it might be a bit harder, as it doesn't have a /proc/loadav (by
default),
you might find a /kern/loadav(g) (if you've got kernfs).
If you wanna speed up the process (to get a truer number), you'll have to
implement
your own little solution. Using uptime or w would involve some extra
cpucycles, but
not too much.
The solution in C would be pretty simple, I guess it shouldn't be too hard
to hack it
into your own little php function either (which would make a neat php
function, why
didn't I think of that earlier?).
The man pages for uptime and getloadavg should give you all the info needed...
btw. don't cc you posts to me, I'm still subscribed to the list, and I
haven't got any
plans of altering that yet...
