Load Average shows the average number of processes waiting to be executed over a certain period. When comparing two servers with Load Averages of 2 and 20 and with Load Averages of 2 and 2, it is preferable to place the load on the server with Load Average 2 and 2, as the second number (for example, over 5 minutes) indicates that the load is consistently low. In the first case, a high second number (20) indicates a sharp increase in load and possible overload, which can lead to delays and reduced performance.
