• processes % of processes were waiting for the CPU - this property should be returned when the load is above the number of CPUs

example

const getLoadAvg = require('get-loadavg')

// let's suppose that the current loadavg is [9.19921875, 5.2197265625, 3.16796875] and we have 4 CPUs
getLoadAvg()
// should return
{
  one: {
    overload: 519.92,
    processes: 5.2
  },
  five: {
    overload: 121.97,
    processes: 1.22
  },
