I have a machine that is running almost nothing but yet it's load average
is 2+.  I can't figure out what it is doing.  Here is a run from top.

load averages:  2.25,  2.20,  2.13

As you can see there is almost nothing running.  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to what could be causing the busyness?

here is also a run from netstat, the collisons are kind of high...

Any information appreciated.
