The description is fine. On Karmic, using a generic stress tool ('stress') the simulated load is reported but the specific (real-life) load I refer to is not. So the problem is a subtle one.
Thank you for the tutorial on cpu load. A *zero* load, however, that corresponds to hundreds of running threads is enough to present a valid case. It doesn't matter how many cores I have.

I will see what I can do to get identical comparisons.
