[ale] Load?

top - 20:43:03 up 18 days,  7:57,  2 users,  load average: 4.00, 4.00, 4.00
Tasks:  65 total,   1 running,  64 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):   0.7% user,   0.0% system,   0.0% nice,  99.3% idle

Here are the top few lines from a top.  The system is substantially idle, yet 
the load reads a consistent '4'.  

How do I track the source of this behavior down?
