What DOES the 1.28 reflect?
FDrom the man page: uptime gives a one line display of the following information. The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes. so from your output you had a utilization of 128% for the past 1 minute, 109 % for the last five, abd 106 % for the last 15 minutes. Congratulations. You're getting more out of your system then you should be able to. :-) hmmm - maybe this calculation sould use some refinenet.
