[ale] questions about load averages

[geof at abraxis.com (Geoffrey Myers)]

The man page for top say that the load average numbers are: "the average
number of processes ready to run during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes."
Question is, does this mean they are sitting in the run queue?  I'm
trying to understand what these numbers mean.  What's high?
