Hi list!

I did a strange observation yesterday night. The CPU usage reported by top doesn't match what is indicated under it. I was seeing around 80-90% user, 5% system, 1% interrupt and 10% idle. But the process details under it doesn't match. mysqld was taking around 250% (WCPU) with a few httpd processes at 1-2%. The system is running GENERIC 8.0-REL on a Xeon E5630 (quad core with hyperthreading so 8 CPUs). MySQL and Apache each have their own jail (I don't think it will matter but just in case)

I understand why the mysqld process take more than 100% but how can I know what's taking the rest? Why doesn't the total user CPU usage match the total of the CPU usage of each process? Is there a link with hyperthreading?

There sure is a logical answer and I would really like to know it :)

Thanks in advance,

Martin
