What all goes into the load averages displayed by the uptime command? As far as I can tell, the uptime has no theoretical upper limit, but there is a certain max that it hits where simple processes would take 50+ times as long to run. Does this value scale with the processor? In other words, would the uptime on a 486-66 equal the uptime on a Pentium-120 running the same processes? Thanks...
