I didn’t properly understand load average, so I’m noting down articles that were helpful.

As mentioned in naoya’s article, I didn’t understand how to interpret load average on a 4-core OS, so articles like this are really appreciated.

• How to Read Load Average in the Multi-core Era - naoya's Hatena Diary
• Explanation of Real-time OS for Multiprocessors
• Linux - Checking system load by looking at load average - Qiita
• [24/7] Technologies Supporting Server/Infrastructure ‾Scalability, High Performance, Low-maintenance Operations (WEB+DB PRESS plus Series)

That’s all from the Gemba.
