You don't say:
1. What version of FreeBSD you're running.
2. How you invoke top.
3. Why you think the load should be round 80%. There's nothing to
suggest that in the output you show.
I suspect that you might have a problem with a version mismatch. The
entire output above looks somewhat strange. I'm sure you don't really
have 202921 processes running, for example, and there's obvious
mutilation in the text.
