+Some notes about *load attributes
+=================================
+process::real_load              Current *real* load.
+                                Used for the computations.
+                                Displayed in log messages.
+
+process::expected_load          Current load estimation.
+                                Used for load-balancing estimation, and for
+                                diffusing to neighbors.
+                                * Without bookkeeping, it equals real_load
+                                  minus pending sends.
+                                * With bookkeeping, it corresponds to the
+                                  "virtual load".
+
+process::received_load          Real load received from neighbors.
+                                Used when receiveing data messages, and then
+                                added to real_load.
