That's both cruel and funny at the same time.

I won't pretend to understand how OpenBSD calculates its load averages, but
keep in mind that not every OS calculates them the same.
For instance, my OpenBSD box:
$ uptime
11:46AM up 3 days, 18:29, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.08, 0.08
I have a .08 load average and there are no services other t
