How do you know the constant load is 5? To find that you must be using a
tool of some sort. If it is "constant" then "top" should show you something.

I've used uptime and top. to show the load and processes that are
using the highest memory and cpu. However all the process are nearly
idle, using barely any resource. So I'm lacking in this area and I
thought I'd ask what the steps could be.

Thanks
