questions about --load

[Thomas Sattler]

Hi there ...

I'd vote for improving the manpage about --load:

|
| Only difference is 0 which actually means 0.
|

Question: Does "--load 0" wait until the system is completely
idle (0.00) or just as long as the load drops below 1 (0.x)?

|
| The load average is only sampled every 10 seconds to avoid
| stressing small computers.
|

Question: How is the load sampled? top/uptime/etc. know load1/
load5/load15. Does GNU parallel look at one of these every 10s?

I think the manpage shouldn't leave this as an exercise to the
users and instead should be modified to answer these questions.
