gilgamesh: load on head node

[John Kitchin]

I am not sure why the load is as high as it is. It does not appear to be
because of cpu intensive jobs being run. the top cpu using processes on the
login node are:

16:09:08 up 9 days,  3:12, 21 users,  load average: 19.37, 18.84, 19.29

does anyone else know why the load could be registered as high?
