On a single core machine, usually you just multiply the load average number by 100 to get the percentage. However, if you have multiple cores, you need to multiply by 100, then divide by the number of cores. 0.11, 0.08, 0.03 that load average is VERY low for a 4 core box 4.0 would be 100% cpu utilization ---

We had some machines with a total of 32 cores at my last job. I just never bothered to check into the hardware here because I never actually get my hands on it… ---
