Fwd: Re: New Metrics to measure Load average

[sena seneviratne]

Hi Balbir Singh,

I have done changes to the load average inside current functions.
This means without introducing any new function.

Please go through our previous correspondence in this regard.

Also I had discused this fact with Peter Williams who had introduced some 
new functions in the same area.

Would do you be able to test my code?

Kind regards
