is there anyway I can see the real load on the server?

'top' just gives me my own processes.

In short, I am experiencing some lag at the command-line and want to know if it's a runaway process or if this is going to be expected behavior.

I think the load averages and CPU(s) info is total, and accurate indication of "real load," although the individual processes are only yours. So you can see how bogged down the server is, you just can't necessarily identify who/what is causing it, if not you.

It's not expected behavior to me.
