I've posted something like this before. It seems the load calculator takes the io_wait "cpu usage" (which isn't really a cpu usage, it just categorizes processes waiting in io_schedule here instead of the idle time) into account. While doing heavy disk I/O my webserver showed a load of over 40 but the cpu was idle. I don't like this either.
