If you have 5620 DMD terminals, try running "sysmon" in a layer. If /usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h exists, it describes a kernel data structure that you can read via /dev/kmem using the address of the symbol _sysinfo that nlist() on /vmunix will determine for you. The sysinfo structure runque and runocc members will allow you to compute the load average. Since sysinfo does not seem to be a documented feature, your implementation may not support it.
