Well, linux loadavg actually has nothing to *CPU* load.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

The most common example to prove that is a storage system (I see that 
with in-kernel iSCSI target) with dedicated data disks/arrays, where 
loadavg can be very high (100-200 is not uncommon), but actual CPU usage 
(user+system) is not more that 20%. For such systems load threshold 
plays bad role, unnecessarily slowing down cluster reactions.
