What does it mean if a voltmeter has low sensitivity?

Going back in time, meters were rated in ohms per volt full scale sensitivity. This means that if a meter was rated at 20Kohms per volt and it had a 1 volt scale, it would represent a 20Kohm additional load on the circuit it was attached to. In some circuits the additional load could change the operation of the circuit, and/or the measurement. Analog meters usually had this rating. I guess very cheap ones today are still this way. Modern meters generally have a sensitivity in excess of 11Megaohms/volt, so this is no longer a problem for simple measurements.
