Why seems this unlikely? If you do nothing (or not much) the load will be
0. During writing this mail my machine shows the following (and I run 58
processes incl. X):

rwa@goliath:~$ cat /proc/loadavg
0.00 0.00 0.00 2/55 3080

If I do something using a bit CPU power the values grow.

It would be strange if your load remains 0 if you start a bigger program
(like netscape) or during compiling.
