I mean finding the actual cause of a high load number. There's no way to break it down by process, or even find out if it's because of IO or network, etc. without using other tools.

Fellow poor soul, over the last 10 years whenever a server has high load I've got angry about the fact that load avg is not actionable, and exactly that "or even find out if it's because of IO or network"
