I think you should read more about Linux's Load average..
It is not required to have a high CPU load , in order to have a High load average.
Network activity and blocked processes can also cause high load average (without increasing the CPU usage)

So , this load average you see may be caused by some blocked processes (probably around 50 of them)

Check your NFS mount points(if there are any) , check all the processes ("D" states, "Z" states"), check your network activity, and you will find the reason.
