I run jobs that eat nearly 800% of my 800% available CPU that take about
10 days to complete, and I run them at nice 19. Under Lenny such jobs
always showed up at the top of top reporting 700% + CPU consumption, as
you'd expect. I upgraded to Squeeze on 19 August 2011, and since then
such jobs have still shown up at the top of top... with one exception.
On one occasion the job was still running (I could see it logging to
stdout at the usual speed in the window in which it was running) but it
wasn't at the top of top. In fact, only by restricting top to show
processes owned by me (u <userid>) could I see it at all, and it was
then displayed at the bottom of my processes. Memory was displayed OK,
but CPU consumption... was displayed as zero I think. I can't remember
what the CPU line at the top of the screen was displaying. If it
happens again I'll make notes.
