Clarification on Check_Load Plugin

[Jatin Davey]

Hi

The check load plugin gives 1 min , 5 min and 15 min average load on the 
target machine.

My question is: How does the plugin claculate the 1 min avg load , 5 min 
avg load and 15 min avg load.
Take the case of 1 min avg load :
     -- How many data points does it use to calulcate the average ?
     -- Does it internally do the checks every 5 secs or 10 secs ? What 
is the number of secs that it internally polls to calculate the average ?
     -- On similar lines how does it do for 5 min and 15 min loads ?

Please clarify.

Thanks
Jatin
