Well, as soon as I saw this I ran ruptime and got (among other things):
XXXXXXX       up    22:32,     0 users,  load 12171.07, 10732.14, 9610.87

(I replaced the host name with Xs because it's not one the public should
know about)

I should add that this sort of figure is pretty common around here on any
of several machines.  Of course, it's what you would expect at a hardware
manufacturer with a hyperactive OS group...  :-)
