How many cores does your CPU have. I've found that load is an
approximation to "how many cores are running at 100%".
It's very noticeable running xosview, that as soon as load goes above 4
on my 4-core system, response goes through the floor. Which is probably
because a large chunk of CPU time suddenly gets diverted to scheduling
and task switching, rather than doing useful work.
Cheers,
