High load average (FC5)

noticed this morning that the system is running with a reported load 
average of: 7.15, 7.26, 7.16

not sure what's causing it to be so high.  iirc load average is based 
upon processes waiting for I/O.  This machine should be pretty much 
quiet at the moment.

How can I figure out what's jacking the load average up?

TIA, Jeff
