The load average is the average number of runnable processes in periods
of 5 sec., 5 min and 15 min. The calculating code is in kernel/sched.c and
include/linux/sched.h. The real calculation is done with a macro. If you
are interested in changing the calculating parameters, you might want to
take a look at include/linux/sched.h
