:Ahh, and since nearly everything is done on this system via NFS, I can
:imagine that several things are waiting for NFS responses.

:It's probably more accurate, but from a PR standpoint it makes it "look"
:like FreeBSD is choking under the load, when it really isn't. Or am I the
:only one that even cares about this? :)

    Heh.  You can always hack your kernel source locally.  I think the code
    you want to mess around with is /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_meter.c, the 
    'loadav' procedure.  Replacing the 'FALLTHROUGH' comment with a 'break;'
    statement ought to do the trick for you.  I don't think we should change
    anything in the official tree.
