You need to explain a bit more how you intend to use those.

Contrary to all other perfmon values, where we go to great lengths to
only count the load put onto the GPU by the specific process requesting
the perfmon, the loadavg values also include the load caused by other
submits. Due to this difference in behavior I fear that those new
counters might be confusing to use. But maybe you have a use-case in
mind that I don't see right now.

Lucas
