the 'load' reflects the average number of processes in the 'ready' state
in the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. you are correct that this can be caused
by many processes being spawned and killed in a fast rate. you could try
to turn on command accounting on your system, so a log file will show you
all processes that are launched on your system, how long they have been
running, what command they were executing, etc.

for more info: man accton
