I believe the T2000s report 32 processors, in reality there is only 1. 1 x 8 
cores x 4 concurrent threads capable.

But for all our devices we normally set our LA thresholds by the folowing 
formula:

Warn:  #CPU x 1
Panic: #CPU x 1.5

My hobbit-clients.cfg would be alot smaller if in the default section, if I 
could use a formula definition for LOAD instead of a hardcoded section.

You could hardcode the client's CLASS option to it's arch, and be able to do 
what you propose.
