Cpu average load. =20

Guys, I have started using big brother for monitoring our Unix/Oracle systems. I am getting alerts on the cpu utilization:

dohsdb10.doh.ad.state.fl.us.cpu yellow Mon Nov 29 18:36:36 EST 2004 up: 55 day(s), 12 users, 139 procs, load=3D171

LOAD AVG on dohsdb10,doh,ad,state,fl,us is 171

What is a good load average per cpu - this is a Solaris 2.9 smp machine with multiple cpu's - what should I expect??? How can I tell if this cpu utilization is affecting performance on the host?

Thanks,
Paula
