-q Report queue length and load averages. The following values are displayed:
runq-sz
Run queue length (number of tasks waiting for run time).
plist-sz
Number of tasks in the task list.
ldavg-1
System load average for the last minute. The load average is calculated as the average number of runnable or running tasks (R state), and the number of tasks in unin-
terruptible sleep (D state) over the specified interval.
ldavg-5
System load average for the past 5 minutes.
ldavg-15
System load average for the past 15 minutes.
