I haven't been watching the load average too much, so I don't know what is
normal for the system, but I wouldn't guess that 20 is too high.
The statistic you're talking about is the number of processes that are
computable (not waiting on I/O, hibernating, etc). In the afternoons, we
typically have somewhere between 200-250 processes on the system. I'd
think that having 20 processes that are ready to use the CPU isn't too
unusual.
