Threads Backload

In looking at some load issues on our servers we have starting recording some cn=Monitor counters for analysis. In particular we would like to understand what cn=Backload,cn=Threads,cn=Monitor contains. On our servers we have threads set to 8 and we have seen maximum backload values of 56. Does this means there are 56 connections waiting for an execution thread?
