What is the difference between the lifecycle phases of Activity and Fragment in Android?

The Load Average is a metric that shows the average system load over a period of time. In the top command output, usually three values are displayed: for 1, 5, and 15 minutes.

If you see a Load Average of 20, it means that on average, during the last period (e.g., 1 minute), there were 20 processes either running on the CPU or waiting in the queue.

What it means in practice:

• The Load Average is compared to the number of available CPU cores.
• For example, if you have 4 cores and the Load Average is 20, it indicates high load, and the system is overloaded, with processes waiting.
• High Load Average can slow down the system.

Example: If you have an 8-core server, a Load Average around 8 means all cores are busy, and 20 indicates the load exceeds the CPU capacity significantly.
