That's not insanely high. Consider how many system threads (like the
reaper) are rendered runable by ordinary activity. I wouldn't even try
to compare FreeBSD and NetBSD load averages given that they don't have
the same sorts of system threads.

"Load Average" is fairly meaningless anyway -- it just tells you how
many processes are in the run queue on average.
