Can "load" be described further in the manpage for users? I ask, because I'm interested to understand the heuristics it takes into account when nfsd makes a decision to increase or decrease the thread count. For example, is memory pressure + io pressure stall info + io requests all taken into account? A popular doc that is referenced in such discussions is here: [0].
