Things like 'top' have _always_ had issues with processes that are clock-synchronized. Very few OS's (and I don't think Linux is one of them) actually account CPU time by use of things like the PPC TBR register (for example). Most do it via statistical sampling in a clock interrupt.
The top-analog we had on our OSE products was _very_ accurate, because it accumulated CPU consumption via the TBR deltas on context switches. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
