When I configure more CPU cores, the load average in my Guest OS as shown by top
also increases linearly.
I'm trying to understand why this happens, because I expected either the opposite or at least for it to stay the same. As load average should be calculated independantly of the amount of cores?
For example, with 4 vCPU using -smp 4
the load average of my guest is around 2.60. If I decrease to 2 vCPU, the load average drops to around 1.30.
Does anyone have a logical explanation why this happening?
