That's mine. Is this about average? What is yours? Can anyone give me some background on load averages?

One of the servers I take care of was running about what yours was but it also had a lot of zombie processes. Reducing the number of perl processes eliminated most of the zombie processes and reduced the server load. (the server had 11k perl processes running per hour)
if you have perl ad rotator scripts get rid of them and try a php ads rotator if you want to cut down on load and zombies
