--- Comment #17 from Jeremy Chadwick <jdc@koitsu.org> ---
The problem varies per hardware/system (see comment #8), including multiple
types/implementations of VMs.  Ian Lepore (smithi@nimnet.asn.au) already
covered part of this in his "broken loadavg, a fix, then fixed loadavgs"
attachment (it has a lengthy explanation).  The issue almost certainly has
something to do with eventtimers or timecounters.  Ian and I chatted for a =
bit
off-ticket about some of the possibilities, but neither of us could narrow =
down
the root cause.

I'm happy to wait for 11.0-RELEASE and try that, but I'm inclined to believe
the issue is still present unless a committer can point to a commit that
actually fixed it; the only commits I follow presently are to stable/9, and=
 a
search of stable/10 for the word "load" turns up no commits that look relev=
ant.
 So, call it sysadmin + FreeBSD-user-since-1997 gut instinct.  :-)
