in thread portable way to get system load average

i think you lost me.

the 1 minute means a simple rolling average, not "1 minute ago". i am making the decision based on an average calculated for "128 billion cycles" up to "just before now", not "128 billion cycles ago". that number is "good enough" indicator for my purposes.
