How do I read the Sysload on the Upper right corner?

[yazyazoo]

I have Sab running on a Dockstar and noticed the Sysload on the upper right corner. Can someone tell me how to read this exactly? Mine looks like this.

Sysload: 0.77 | 0.50 | 0.33 | V=293M R=85M

Rough explanation:
Sysload: number of processes waiting to be handled. Lower is better.
V=, R=: Virtual and Real memory used by SABnzbd. Lower is better


Formal explanation

man uptime:

Code: Select all

       System load averages is the average number of processes that are either
       in a runnable or uninterruptable state.  A process in a runnable  state
       is  either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU.  A process in unin‐
       terruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for  disk.
       The  averages  are  taken over the three time intervals.  Load averages
       are not normalized for the number of CPUs in a system, so a load  aver‐
       age  of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4
       CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.

man top:

Code: Select all

       38. VIRT  --  Virtual Memory Size (KiB)
           The  total  amount  of  virtual  memory  used by the task.  It
           includes all code, data and shared libraries plus  pages  that
           have  been swapped out and pages that have been mapped but not
           used.


       20. RES  --  Resident Memory Size (KiB)
           The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
