Hi
I am considering changing hosting providers and am wondering about the relevance of the `Load Averages' listed in the top right of the WHM screen.

I understand it is from 1, 5 and 15 minutes ago and is representative of the number of CPU's on the server - so if you have 4 CPU's a value of 4 would mean the server is working 100% etc.

My previous host's number were very low: 0.5 0.47 0.42 and they have 4 CPU's from looking at the Service Status link
My new host has 24 CPU's but the loads are: 4.68 5.42 5.70

Using both fingers and toes it seems that the new host's CPUs are working about 2-3x harder

However are the numbers on the new host of concern - or nothing to worry about really?
