I did a little research on the loadavg number, and my understanding is that it's simply a function of the number of tasks on the system. (There's some fancy stuff thrown in for exponential decay and curve smoothing and all that, but it's still based on the number of system tasks.)
Any USB device? Each time I access USB disks, load goes through the roof.
