Well, I'd actually expect them to, as -I filters out any idle process. Justed tested on my 6.0B2, major CPU hogs are shown as expected. > In 4.9 the processes stayed there until they are done. Where's the difference to top [-i], then? I don't really know enough about how load and utilization are calculated. I'd guess load is calculated by the scheduler, based on the number of processes whining for more/larger time slices, whereas utilization is guessimated elsewhere, probably something like process CPU time / available CPU time. I'm none too sure there's an actual correlation between these values, let alone load 1 = utilization 100%. Cheers.
