Comments on system load

[Andrew Elliott]

Can I get some comments on this system load (specifically the context
switches over 40000)?  I'm trying to convince some people that it's
overloaded but they insist that it isn't:

 

procs                      memory      swap          io     system
cpu

 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in    cs us sy  wa
id
