Hi everyone, I recently discovered that when I send or receive a fax using HylaFAX and a class 1 modem the load average goes up to about 0.7 while the CPU stays at 99% idle. How can this be? I always thought that load average was a rough measurement of CPU load but I now guess it's not? Could someone please explain the difference to me?
