Just for kicks I took a look at systat and noticed something 
interesting.  It appears to be able to show the load on 
multiprocessor systems as a per-CPU value
 Load Average    

                    /0   /10  /20  /30  /40  /50  /60  /70  /80  /90  /100
root     idle: cpu0 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 
root     idle: cpu1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
