# cat /proc/loadavg ; ps ax | wc -l
0.00 0.00 0.00 1/192 3683
121

/proc/loadavg says 192 processes, but ps only sees 121.

'ps ax' does not include threads?

I guess you need to ps max, but it won't match exactly anyway.

With ps axh you can get it:

[g ~]$ cat /proc/loadavg|cat
0.45 0.35 0.24 3/192 12463
[g ~]$ ps Haxh|wc -l
192
