Although the OP mentioned he's using ext4, so I suppose he's running Linux

Still, the load average 0.88 means the system is almost idle, especially
when there's no I/O activity etc.

Ahh, I didn't see the mention of ext4 initially. I tend to just use iostat for getting a better baseline of what's truly happening on the system. At least on FreeBSD (not sure of Linux at the moment) the iostat output also lists CPU usage in the last columns and if "id" (idle) is not close to zero it's probably OK. :-)
