'Tis nothing.
I once worked on a Encore Multimax (4XPC) running a 4.3 BSD
variant that got so far as a load of over 200 before it recovered. But
we (read: 4 users out of the 150 logged in) were *trying* to kill it.
I've seen the PowerPC SMP AIXen here drive upwards of a few
hundred and still recover as well.
Personally, I've never driven my linux boxen over 2. 8)
