Hi,

Lately, our server has been showing high loading, but top shows that the
CPU is mostly in wait mode, and iotop shows low disk i/o traffic.
How do you know the load is high? Where is the indication coming from?

Umm... "top" and "iotop"  (which addresses your own follow-up question)

I'm interested in more opinions and diagnostic tools too because my laptop
suddenly became very slow and unresponsive yesterday until I restarted it. top
was showing a mostly idle cpu but kde system activity was displaying a lot of
"disk sleep".
