By monitoring (graphing) the Processor Load average, you can visually track the load put on the processor. For example, if the graph shows constant high levels (indicating that the processor was heavily loaded), you may decide that the host system is being overworked with too many users and processes, requiring you to limit the number of users or have some of the processes run on another system.
A temporary spike in a Processor Load graph could be an indication that a processor-intensive process is running. To avoid problems that might result from such a heavy processor load, you can reschedule that process to run at a time when processor load is less heavy.
