Sorry, I didn't look at the code. It looks like you display the load in 
percents and I don't know if it's possible use getloadavg for that. In 
other words, what is 100%? (Problem: you can have load > 1.0).

But maybe you could use vmstat's idle and perform 100-idle to get the 
current load? Ask me if you need help with this...
