high load average -> slow builds

I've been getting warnings that my cvs-to-git processes
are hitting their locks several times per day: i.e., a prior
job is still running when the next cron-triggered job would have run.
That's not a problem in and of itself, but is indicative of another.
Over the last week or so, the load average has consistently been
above 20, so it's no surprise that things take longer.
I will probably reduce the cvs-to-git crontab frequency just to
stop the nag mail. But longer term, what's the schedule for the
hardware update?
FYI, here's a snapshot of top output:
