I think my values for your situation are 10 (1min) and 4 (5min), but I might be misreading my configuration. As I understood it, Brett on IRC suggested warning at numcores+1 and alerting at numcores*2 for the 1min.
OK, I'll try your config of 10 and 4 and see how I get on. Brett's comments are inline with what I'd expect but I'm already alerting at 4 (numcores*2) and the purpose of this exercise is to reduce the alerts because they're making more important alerts harder to spot and I don't believe load is a major problem at the moment.
Thanks for the help.
