As far as I understand the "load average" numbers, 17-20 means "%1700 to
%2000".

The numbers represent the number of "active processes" waiting for CPU
time or executing.

On most of the x86 boxen (single-CPU) I've worked with over the last few
years, any load over 10 starts showing lag on the console;  anything
over 15 is downright unresponsive, and anything over about 20-25 is
effectively locked up.
