Why does the reporting of processes seem to change?
For example, when I reboot and start setiathome it uses idle cycles.
kpm or top show this as I would expect. kpm showes 99% (niced) and top
showes 94%. gkrellm does not show it unless I tell it to display
programs which are niced. This correct. kapm-idled is showing 0.00 at
this time.
Now after using the computer for a while or doing something what is
displayed changes. I end up with seeing on the cpu meter of gkrellm my
cpu use sitting at 60ish% without displaying processes that are niced.
top has now got setiathome around 40ish%. kapm-idle looks like it is
using the 60% which all the tools are reporting.
What could cause this?
