How to lower the load average on a server with more than 50% in 10 seconds
$uptime
... load average: 0.54, 0.40, 0.36
$sudo vim /etc/fstab
(add the noatime option)
$sudo mount -a
...
$uptime
... load average: 0.24, 0.16, 0.17
So far this completely unscientific proof.
More info about the noatime option.

not only on a server, did this on my laptop (using an external usb hd) and firefox (which used to stall sometimes for a few seconds) works much faster now.
