Load averages and current load are two different things.  I suspect you
didn't catch it when it was busy.

Subject: got load > 1 but no CPU state is showing?

Hi,

On a lightly loaded server top is misbehaving: it continuously shows all
CPU states at 0.0% yet my load varies from 0.50 to about 3. Is there
any explanation for this?

Obviously, my kernel + world are in sync, running 4.8-RELEASE.
Rebuilding top did no good.
